The report deals with the development and use of mathematical models for the simulation of automobile occupant kinematics in the event of a collision. This model was developed as a tool to study advanced concepts and designs of seat-restraint systems from the viewpoint of occupant protection. After a discussion of the state-of-the-art of mathematical modeling of the crash victim, an analytical description of the HSRI Two-Dimensional Crash Victim Simulator is presented. This model consists of a segmented, eight-mass dynamic model of a human interacting with the interior of a vehicle in a symmetric frontal or rear crash. The degree to which predictions of the model agree with experimental impact sled test data is presented and the report concludes with a detailed Users' Manual for those individuals desiring to exercise the HSRI Two-Dimensional Crash Victim Simulator.
