DEVELOPMENT OF SIMILARITY SCORING TECHNIQUES FOR MOTOR VEHICLE CRASH COMPARISONS
… Sampling System - Crashworthiness Data System (NASS-CDS) are two real-world crash databases. The objective of this research was to develop and analyze methodologies and similarity scoring systems to compare crashes. Using CIREN, case-by-case comparisons were achieved to study similarity to crash …

The Development of Pulmonary Contusion Finite Element Model Metrics from Real World Simulations
… in a recent National Automotive Sampling System (NASS) study. In 2009, 33,808 Americans were killed in a MVC and 2.22 million more were injured resulting in a large number of occupants exposed to these traumatic events with the potential for pulmonary contusion. Even non-fatal occurrences of this …
