Additional information

The research reported in this paper focuses on the pregnant woman and her safety during a crash. This formed the basis of a keynote address at the International Conference on Machine Design and Production, Girne, Cyprus, 29 June-2 July 2010. The paper gives the details of the world’s first CAD model of a pregnant woman with a foetus. The pioneering research behind this paper has raised the standards of research in the field of human modelling and set the world research agenda: for example University of Michigan Transport Research Institute are currently working to extend a CAD model to include the foetus (no published outputs to date) and a PhD study was reported at SimBioM congress in 2011 including a non-realistic mass to represent a baby in-utero (Peres). The research was funded by EPSRC.
