2A1-B16 Estimation of Accident Situation by Integrating Bodygraphic Injury Surveillance System and Fall Simulator

Abstract

The reproduction technology of accident situation is indispensable identify hazards, investigate causes, and develop preventive measures for serious child injuries. This paper proposes a method for estimating accident situation by integrating the bodygraphic injury surveillance system and a fall simulator. The proposed method allows us to to estimate possible accident situations, search the most likely accident situation by evaluating the similarity between simulation data and injury case data, and conduct the worst case analysis. This paper also reports an example of the application of the proposed method to reproducing an actually occurred accident case of play equipment.
