STOCKHOLM, July 18, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Autoliv, Inc.
(NYSE: ALV ) and (SSE: ALIVsdb), the worldwide leader in automotive
safety systems, joins the new European H2020 research project
OSCCAR to improve the protection and safety for occupants of the
future vehicle.
The future highly automated vehicle, with comfort and
convenience enhancing features such as relaxed seating positions
and rotated seats, will require the development of more advanced
and novel restraint systems. By partnering with vehicle
manufacturers, research organizations and other automotive
suppliers in the new research project OSCCAR (Future Occupant
Safety for Crashes in Cars), Autoliv will contribute to harmonized
methods and tools for future restraint development.
"This project will provide valuable information for
understanding future accident scenarios and how to provide the best
protection with new restraint systems for novel interiors and
seating positions for a diverse occupant population", said Cecilia
SunnevÄng, Vice President Research at Autoliv. "The project will
provide input to regulation and consumer tests on how future
occupant protection can be assessed by including tools such as
crash test dummies and human body models, and risk functions".
Guiding principles and concepts for occupant protection will be
developed and assessed by using harmonized human body models for
complex test cases and with consideration of heterogeneity
characteristics like gender, age and other demographic factors,
allowing for a dedicated and individual increase in safety for the
occupant population.
