Impact Speed and Injury Risk

- Reference for Severity Classification in ISO26262, “Automobile Functional Safety” -

Abstract

Injury risks in some impact modes are analyzed in relation to impact velocity, in order to offer the reference data to set up the boundary impact speed of the Severity Criteria of “Automobile Safety Integrated Level” in the functional safety standard ISO26262. These analyses were mainly conducted for the impact modes or conditions which were not able to be found after the literature review． NASS-CDS and NASS-PDCS data in United States and the ITARDA statistical data in Japan are used for these analyses.
