Whiplash Criteria Workshop | Session 1 | 8-9 Sep 2014
Berlin
Agenda Item 7.
Summary of meeting/actions

Decisions

It was agreed to delete the following criteria from the candidate list:

  • NDCx due to the difficulty of making the measurement.
  • Fz upper and lower neck.
  • My upper and lower neck provided that NDCrot has requirements for both flexion and extension.
It was agreed that the following criteria should be recommended for the purpose of regulation:
  • NIC
  • NDCrot for both flexion and extension, using appropriately specified angular rate sensors.
  • Fx upper and lower neck.
Actions
  • Johan Davidsson to provide more details on the PMI classification.
  • Lex van Rooij to provide the Euro NCAP NIC graphs for 2010-2011 (done).
  • Johan Davidsson to check this seat, and also the high NDCrot with one modern anti-whiplash seat design. Data may be available from other laboratories for these seats which may help clarify the results.
  • Koshiro Ono to check whether the upper and lower neck shear forces are correlated in the JARI accident reconstruction simulations.
  • Bernd Lorenz to ask CPs what their target risk level is.
