CALSPAN 3-D CRASH VICTIM SIMULATION PROGRAM

Research has been performed to develop mathematical models for the computer simulation of motor vehicle crash victims. Calspan has developed a three-dimensional model, written in Fortran IV, which has a variable degree of freedom with respect to the victims representation. A general description of this mathematical model is presented. /TRRL/
