Epidemiologic Investigation of Child Restraint Installation Position and Serious Injury among Children in Motor Vehicle Crashes

Principal Investigator: Rachel Myers, PhD

The goal of this study is to create a unique source of epidemiologic crash data that enables novel description of use and installation patterns of child restraints among crash-involved children and— following linkage with hospital discharge and death certificate data—novel description of child occupant injury outcomes based on restraint use and installation (rear- vs. forward-facing).

ATD Lower Extremity Interaction with the Front Seat Back during Sled Tests

Principal Investigator: Laura Boucher, PhD


Over the past five years a series of CChIPS-funded projects have focused on developing a more biofidelic Hybrid III 6 year-old ATD lower extremity. The broad objective of this research is to expand the understanding on how ATD legs are interacting with the front seat back and/or vehicle interior. This project will provide important evidence that the use of a front seat back during sled testing provides an important realistic environment for more adequate…
Lateral Cervical Spine Stiffness in Children

Principal Investigator: Laura Boucher, PhD


Side impact crashes have become a major point of focus in the child passenger safety field due to the high injury and fatality rates associated with this type of crash. As new side impact testing standards are developed, the biofidelity of anthropomorphic test devices (ATDs) and human body models (HBMs) in the lateral direction becomes increasingly vital. The long-term objective is to provide data that are not currently available to those who are using…

Validation and Reliability Testing of a New Hybrid III 6-Year-Old Lower Extremity

Principal Investigator: Laura Boucher, PhD


The long-term objective of this project is to create an instrument that will provide researches and engineers the ability to directly evaluate the crash response of the new 6-year-old Hybrid III ATD lower extremity (ATD-LE), providing information on injury mechanism and injury tolerance of the ankle and leg. Additionally, the ATD-LE may also help lead to advances in car restraint system (CRS) design and automotive crash testing. 
Defining Anterior-Posterior Motion of the Shoulder Girdle

Principal Investigator: Laura Boucher, PhD


The overall goal of this project is to investigate the response of the shoulder girdle complex by non-invasively measuring clavicular displacement in 3-4 year old children. These data will be compared to a 3 year-old anthropomorphic test device (ATD) with the goal of providing recommendations for continued improvements in biofidelity of the shoulder, and thus the ability to improve thorax, cervical spine, and head responses in the ATD during frontal…
