The glossary was developed in cooperation with OSCCAR project and uploaded to the TUC Validation Repository.
FE Model of Far-Side Load Case uploaded
The FE model of the Far-Side Load Case was uploaded to the TUC Validation Repository in LS-Dyna and VPS. The model was developed in cooperation with Autoliv.
Free Access to THUMS Virtual Human Body Model Software by Toyota
FE Model of Lumbar Disk Compression uploaded
The FE model of the Lumbar Intervertebral Disk Compression was uploaded to the TUC Validation Repository in LS-Dyna. The model was developed in cooperation with BMW AG.
FE Model of SENIORS Sled uploaded
The FE model of the SENIORS Sled was uploaded to the TUC Validation Repository as beta-model in VPS. The model was developed in cooperation with AUDI AG.
FE Model of SAE pedestrian buck uploaded
The FE model of the SAE pedestrian buck model was uploaded to the TUC Validation Repository as beta-model in VPS. The model can be used to validate a HBM in a whole-body pedestrian impact against a generic vehicle front according to Forman et al. (2015). The buck model represents the SAE standard 3093 and was developed in cooperation with ESI GmbH.

PIONEERS EU project kicked-off
Another EU Horizon 2020 project was kicked-off in May 2018. PIONEERS (Protective Innovations of New Equipment for Enhanced Rider Safety) will investigate and assess the direct contribution to the reduction of fatalities and severity of injuries, as well as the number of injured Powered Two Wheelers (PTW) users by developing new Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) and On-Board Safety Systems, improving the validation and assessment methods and increasing the usage rate of such devices. TUC partners BASt and LMU are involved in the project.
