Original Abstract

Traffic accidents are widespread thanks to the increasing amount of traffic and related human factors such as cell phone calls during driving, stress situations caused by traffic jams, poor driver experience, others. If people are driving on a trip (business, vacation), they usually take several things like bags, drinks, food, and other objects. These objects are placed into the vehicle, and they are mostly unsecured. A typical human assumption “that nothing can happen” causes the unsecured state of several objects placed in the vehicle. Another factor is that people are in a “rush,” and they do not have time to think about what these unsecured objects can do when a traffic accident happens. These objects act like projectiles and can hit vehicle occupants and cause serious injury to their bodies. The critical part which is taken into account for the experimental injury potential investigation described in this abstract is a human head. A series of experiments were performed to compute human head injury taking into account Head Injury Criterion (HIC). HIC can determine (from head acceleration response data) the probability of injury that can be caused by the interaction of loose partial elastic objects with the human head (rear part) during a frontal vehicular crash (traffic accident).
