for Occupant Safety) project was the development
of a system that can make an assessment of the
bone characteristics of each vehicle occupant in
order to estimate their skeletal strengths. The
seatbelt and airbag characteristics can then be
adjusted to deliver optimum levels of protection
specifically for each occupant. A system
introduced into every vehicle has the capacity to
save lives and reduce injury levels across the whole
spectrum of vehicle occupants. This paper
describes the contributions from academic and
industrial partners to this UK Department for
Transport funded project.
