Comparative Study of Cervical Classic Systems and Test Dummies Biofidelic of Road Accidents

Abstract:

Evolution of accidentology science, computer engineering and systems of data collection and processing has allowed in recent years, development of border areas that make the connection between life sciences and engineering.This paper tries to prove that this link exists and can be emphasized by using scientific instruments. In recent years, following the development of the automotive industry has increased the need for design and development of systems for testing biofidelity impact of vehicles, since the phase of the virtual model or prototype "zero", with visible effects in improving the safety of road users.In general, it is considered that the development of automotive mannequins to test different types of impact, will lead to continuous improvement of safety of the driver and passengers.
