CAB researchers have recently shared body segment position and orientation data from a recent study of reclined occupant sled testing with two European consortium projects focused on improving occupant safety for new seating positions that may become popular in highly automated vehicles. The CAB is proposing the use of these data as a standard for use in positioning human body models (HBMs) in reclined postures, since they provide a target and tolerances from realistic occupant positions. The data were shared directly with the members of the Future Occupant Safety for Crashes in Cars (OSCCAR) Project, and members of the Enabling New Occupant Postures (ENOP) consortium, led by the Laboratoire d'accidentologie, de biomécanique et d'études du comportement humain (LAB).
