18 Purpose and situation of Head Restraint GTR making Solving the following problem of the Whiplash evaluation of the current state is necessary. Governments and the industry are jointly working on it within WP29/GRSP.. 1.Evaluation by Injury Criteria Japan proposed the assessment based on Ono 2009 (completed). An original research that uses PMHS is being conducted in the United States (until end of 2011). Injury Criteria of GTR7 is to be considered by a joint research of JARI(Ono) and NHTSA. Japan proposal NHTSA study 18
19 2.Guarantee of Repeatability Reproducibility The Cause of variability is studied in each country. Improvement of BioRID Ⅱ calibration is studied by Humanetics Co.. Reduction of dummy setting tolerance (Completed at GTR7-Phase1). When establishing the regulation, improvement of Repeatability Reproducibility is requested and necessary. PDB study Humanetics Co. Calibration study Dummy set proposal 19 (Fixed at GTR7-Phase1. )
20 3. Test method to reflect the real world Seat back angle to be set (and tested) at design angle is considered in each country. Test speed appropriate for permanent injury reduction is considered in each country. Large stature (AM95-three dimensional manikin) is considered by the Netherlands &TNO. Small design torso angle Dummy setting study Test speed for injury reduction study High height person study 20

22 Biomechanics of Whiplash injuries Injury criteria review None of the proposed injury criteria were found to have a definite biomechanical basis and their validity in predicting the risk needs to be established. None of the criteria can be recommended on a strictly biomechanical basis. Considered were main injury criteria proposed in literature: Nij, Nkm, LNL, IV-NIC, NDC, NIC, other: Head RV and Seatbelt load. Dummy Requirements and Injury Criteria for a Low-speed Rear Impact Whiplash Dummy. EEVC WG12 report, p.29, September 2007 However, some valuable insight can gained from a biomechanical review of Whiplash injuries. On the following pages, Mainstream findings will be 22 presented, Controversial research findings are not included.
23 Biomechanics of Whiplash injuries The biomechanical evidence for Whiplash injuries Classic injury criteria development For whiplash Effectiveness review thresholds Physiological damage (injury) Injury mechanism Injury criterion Injury criterion with thresholds Symptoms (short and long term) correlation 23
24 Biomechanics of Whiplash injuries Whiplash Injuries Injury mechanism Criteria Thresholds 24
25 Biomechanics of Whiplash injuries Symptoms Neck pain, headache, vision disorder, dizziness, unconsciousness, neurological symptoms and other EEVC WG12 report, p.24, September 2007 Schmitt, K.U. Trauma Biomechanics, 2 nd Edition, p.91 Syptoms and injuries are related: Nociceptors have been shown to exist in various components of spinal tissues, namely the muscle (Bogduk & Marsland 1988), disc annulus and facet joint ligaments (McLain 1994). Consequently, injury to any of these tissues has the potential to cause neck pain. Whiplash associated disorders: a comprehensive review, p. 31. Anderson et al. Centre for Automotive Safety Research. University of Adelaide. April
26 Biomechanics of Whiplash injuries Physiological damage (injuries) Yoganandan et al. (2000) reported injuries to several ligaments, the intervertebral discs and the facet joint structures. Taylor et al. (1998) and Svensson et al. (2000) reported damage in cervical spinal root ganglia Brault et al. (2000) reported muscle injuries EEVC WG12 report, p.24, September 2007 But muscle stiffness following the impact typically last only a few days Whiplash associated disorders: a comprehensive review, p. 31. Anderson et al. Centre for Automotive Safety Research. University of Adelaide. April
27 Biomechanics of Whiplash injuries Physiological damage (injuries) The structures most likely to be injured in whiplash are the facet capsule, the intervertebral discs and the upper cervical ligaments. Injuries to other structures may occur but the available evidence appears to suggest that these are less common Whiplash associated disorders: a comprehensive review, p

29 Biomechanics of Whiplash injuries Injury mechanism Hyperextension of the neck not relevant any more Muscle strains unlikely and pain only last for a few days Spinal column pressure pulses could cause ganglion damage Cervical spine motion (local hyperextension/flexion) - has been shown to be able to lead to facet joint impingement Neck shear force can cause excessive facet joint strain. Neck compression can cause the facet capsules to stretch and possibly torn, resulting in inflammation and pain. Whiplash associated disorders: a comprehensive review, p

46 Injury and seat performance criteria versus injury risk EEVC WG12 Report Document Number 578 Evaluation of Seat Performance Criteria for Rear-end Impact Testing (Interim report) January 2011 Johan Davidsson, Chalmers University of Technology Anders Kullgren, Folksam Research Methods: - Analysing real life risk from Swedish insurance data ( ) of rear impacts with filed Whiplash claim -Taking proportions of Symptoms > 1 month and permanent disability -Grouping similar seats (e.g. all Volvo Whips seats) -Taking representative test values (medium pulse) for injury and seat performance measurements 46
47 Injury and seat performance criteria versus injury risk Findings: Some injury and seat performance criteria correlate with injury risk 47
48 Injury and seat performance criteria versus injury risk Findings: Some injury and seat performance criteria do not correlate with injury risk 48
49 Injury and seat performance criteria versus injury risk Findings: Some injury and seat performance criteria correlate with injury risk some do not 49
50 Injury and seat performance criteria versus injury risk Conclusion NIC, Fx (upper), Head to T1 rotation and Nkm are suggested to be included in performance evaluation of seat systems in rear-end impact. 50
51 Injury and seat performance criteria versus injury risk Findings: Some injury and seat performance criteria have limited correlation with injury risk (after removal of outliers) Conclusion Fz (lower), My (lower) are candidates for performance evaluation of seat systems in rear-end impact. 51

(no biomechanical criterion) Head RV used to measure violence of rebound. - Head velocity relative to T1 (early phase) or Neck Forces (late phase with Seatbelt interaction) seem more appropriate. -Difficult to measure (video tracking problems) -No injury-risk curves available Head T1 rotation difficult to measure (video tracking problems). Correlation with My exists. Rotation rate might be more important than amount Wrong Good / use Candidate Not used *further research needed. Fx might be more appropriate. Ono et al. conclude no correlation with facet strain. Should be excluded to avoid double evaluation **further research needed. 56 Ono et al. showed correlation with facet strain, but Kullgren and Davidsson showed no correlation to real-life risk

63 Extended Criteria Review Summary From the presented evidence, it is recommended to Continue using criteria with biomechanical and real life justification NIC, [Nkm], (Upper Fz), Upper Fx Discontinue using criteria without justification T1G, T-HRC, Head RV Consider introducing additional criteria with have a justification (Lower Fx), Lower Fz, Lower My, (Upper My) Consider introducing - Injury-risk based thresholds to effectively prevent injury and not to only benchmark seats () further research for real-life effect needed [] discontinuation suggested as Fx and My should be measured 63
64 Conclusion Toyota recommends to harmonise with J- NCAP A good step towards a scientifically founded rating can be achieved. J-NCAP s criteria have the best scientific justification of the ratings available and can be adopted easily. Toyota recommends to follow gtr phase 2 developments and consider harmonising 64
