Objective
In this project, the virtual testing process for crash safety applications will be defined in three work packages. In WP1, procedures and guidelines will be defined to apply virtual testing as part of regulated passive safety evaluations. In WP2, the stochastic response of crash tests caused by the scatter in the components will be modelled. In particular, the variability of regulated crash dummies will be evaluated to indicate areas where the current regulated dummy responses are insufficiently reproducible. In WP3, the range of protection will be extended to real life crash conditions by identification of gaps in the current regulations where occupants are not being adequately protected. Based on an extensive analysis of the effects of impact conditions and occupant characteristics, procedures will be defined to fill these gaps by virtual testing.
1)A general procedure for objective rating of comparisons between numerical and experimental results (including software);
2) General modelling and validation procedures for numerical dummy models, human models, restraint system models, barrier and vehicle models;
3) Evaluation of machine and software dependencies;
4) General modelling guidelines for impact simulations. Assessment of accuracy and reliability that can be obtained by virtual testing and of possible reductions in hardware testing and design costs;
5) An overall injury risk assessment method for a range of impact conditions and injury criteria (including software);
6) Indication of areas where the current regulations are not optimally protecting car occupants;
7) Assessment of the potential of real human models for passive safety design;
8) A validated virtual test procedure extending the range of protection beyond current regulations to real life crash conditions;
9) A demonstrator virtual test procedure including all the steps needed for acceptance of virtual testing in regulations or in a consumer test method.
