Experimental moose test

Abstract

In the future of transportation, highly autonomous vehicles (HAVs) will be crucial. It is necessary to talk about the passengers' safety and comfort while the HAV chooses a maneuver. That is why we realized a study on assessing passengers’ kinematics during a vehicle maneuver. One female and two males of different anthropometry participated on the study after the ethics committee approval. They sit as passengers on the frontal seat and were instrumented by Qualisys markers to be monitored during the maneuver. Several measurements at the speeds of 30 km/h and 50 km/h were performed. The study analyse and compares the motion capture data as a base for validating an active human body model.
