The objective of the present study was to analyze injuries and their patterns to obese
occupants in frontal impacts with upright and reclined postures using experimental data …

The reality of the autonomous vehicle in a near future is growing and is expected to induce
significant change in the occupant posture with respect to a standard driving posture. The …

The interaction of the three-point seat belt with the occupant, particularly the lap belt with the
pelvis, is affected by a multitude of intrinsic and extrinsic factors, including the torso recline …
