Abstract
In recent years, many studies have been made in the biomechanical and other fields on whiplash injury or cervical sprain which is one type of injury sustained by vehicle occupants in low-speed rear-end collisions.
This paper describes cervical analyses of whiplash injuries occurring in low-speed rear-end collisions. In particular, it describes the use of a more humanized biomechanical cervical model to analyze cervical behaviours in low-speed rear-end collisions. The results of tests with this model were verified on the TRID-II neck* and the Hybrid-111 neck models.
