Comparison of Muscle Activated HBMs in a Lane Change Manoeuvre

The upcoming trends in the automotive industry, namely active safety and autonomous driving, will require a new type of occupant model for the development of safety systems. As the focus of vehicle safety is shifting towards scenarios with lower acceleration levels, traditional surrogate models developed for high acceleration levels no longer suffice. The best possible replacement are simulation models of the human body including muscles, which are often described as active human body models (AHBMs). After implementing muscle activity and muscle activation dynamics into the Global Human Body Model, the question arose, if such a model is capable of reproducing real world test results in a low g scenario. It was decided to use a lane change maneuver which was tested in the OM4IS project with volunteers. To compare the capabilities of the model, it was tested against an AHBM which is developed for low g maneuvers explicitly, the Madymo AHBM by TNO.
