Ford uses PAM-CRASH for human modeling to advance automotive safety research
Ford Motor Company uses PAM-CRASH mostly to perform impact biomechanics research. Engineers set up model and related parameters to measure the impact responses of the vehicle and different parts of the occupant - including brain, chest, thorax, abdomen and low extremity - during vehicle crashes.
The Challenge
- Understand occupant impact injury mechanisms during vehicle crashes
- Apply research & development findings at an industrial level
- Participate in NHTSA* and US government industry meeting to improve safety regulation
- Pursue research to better define occupant injury criteria
The Benefits
- Successfully develop a realistic human body model using Finite Element Method
- Provide primary research tool for occupant impact simulation
"PAM-CRASH is a tailored simulation tool for advancing researches in biomechanics in replacement of impact tests with human body models."
