  1. Accident research for safer Car DesignETSC Best in Europe Conference 21.-22.02.2006 Tjark Kreuzinger R&D, External Affairs & Communication, Vehicle Safety, Toyota Motor Europe

  2. Content • Principle and Vision • The Development Cycle • Accident Research • THUMS

  3. Principle and Vision

  4. Toyotas Principle and Vision Principle: TODAY for TOMORROW Focus on proactivity on predicting problems and taking corrective measures before those problems take hold • Vision: • Zeronize & Maximize • Striving to Zeronize the negative impacts of cars on Society • Maximize the positive impacts on personal enrichment through comfort, fun and excitement

  5. Development Cycle

  6. Accident Research Leads to Safe Design => A cycle of continuous improvement

  7. Accident Research

  8. Road Traffic Burden 1/2 • 50,000Road Traffic Fatalities in EU25 per year (2001) • 1,7 million Injured in EU25 per year • 1.2 million Road Traffic Fatalities in the World per year • 50 million Injured in the World per year Source: European Environment Agency 2004 => Need to improve Road Safety

  9. Road Traffic Burden 2/2 WHO expects that by 2020 Road Traffic is 3rd largest contributor to burden of disease and injury => No action will increase burden by 60 % from today

  12. THUMS

  13. Human Body Simulation (Total HUman Model for Safety) => Designing Cars Safer

  14. Validated against Real Life Injuries in Accidents => Simulation predicts Injuries correctly

  15. Conclusion • The design for cars to meet real life safety requires basic research • A fundamental part of this must be Accident Research, which helps to understand Accident Causation and Injury Causation/Mechanism • During design, advanced tools like THUMS can help increasing protection potential beyond traditional borders • It is important re-confirm the effect after each improvement cycle

  16. Thank you for your Attention.
