The US-NCAP was rated by the head and chest injury, but the new US-NCAP requires various dummy injury parts such as head, neck, chest, and femur. So, new restraint systems are needed. Particularly, the knee bolster must meet both unbelted and belted test condition requirements. This paper analyzed the dummy response of both test condition and suggested a knee bolster F-D requirement as well as a new knee bolster structure.

The main purpose of a spatial audio system is to give a listener the same impression as if he/she were present in a recorded environment. A dummy head microphone is generally used for such purposes. Because of its human-like shape, we can obtain good spatial sound images. However, its shape is a restriction on its public use and it is difficult to convert a 2-channel recording into multi-channel signals for an efficient rendering over a multi-speaker arrangement. In order to solve the problems mentioned above, a spatial audio system is proposed that uses multiple microphones on a rigid sphere. The system has five microphones placed on special points of the rigid sphere, and it generates audio signals for headphone, stereo, stereo dipole, 4-channel, and 5-channel reproduction environments. Subjective localization experiments show that front/back confusion, which is a common limitation of spatial audio systems using the dummy head microphone, can be reduced dramatically in 4-channel and 5-channel reproduction environments and can be reduced slightly in a headphone reproduction.

입체음향 시스템의 목적은 청취자에게 음원을 획득한 장소에 있는 것과 같은 느낌을 주는 것이다. 이를 위해 일반적으로 더미헤드가 많이 사용되고 있다. 인간의 머리형태를 한 더미헤드의 특성 때문에 더미헤드를 통해 획득한 음원을 헤드폰을 통해 청취하는 경우 현장감을 느낄 수 있다. 하지만 더미헤드의 형태 및 크기는 공공장소에서 사용하기에는 제약이 있고 더미헤드를 통해 획득한 신호는 멀티채널로 확장하기가 어렵기 때문에 본 논문에서는 이러한 더미헤드를 구체로 간략화 한 후 구체 위에 다수 개의 마이크를 배치하여 입체음원을 획득하기 위한 멀티채널 3차원 마이크 기술에 대해 제안한다. 본 논문에서 제안하는 멀티채널 3차원 마이크는 구체 위의 수평면 상에 5개의 마이크를 배치하여 입체 음원을 획득한 다음 후처리 과정을 통해 헤드폰, 스테레오, 스테레오 다이폴, 4채널 및 5채널 재생환경 등에서 재생이 가능하다. 다양한 재생신호의 생성을 위한 후처리 과정은 많은 연산량을 필요로 하기 때문에, H/W로 제작하였다. 멀티채널 3차원 마이크의 성능을 검증하기 위해 방향성 실험을 수행한 결과, 멀티채널 재생환경에서 더미헤드 기술의 단점인 전/후방 혼동현상을 현저하게 줄일 수 있었다.

In recent years, a large number of study for rear impact has been conducted and as a result of study, researchers proposed the neck injury criteria and test procedures. But many questions, related to injury criteria and dummy biomechanical levels, remain unresolved. In recently reports, rear impact motions of BioRIDIIg is not humanlike but better than other dummy(HybridIII, RID3d). So, in this paper, 4 times sled test would be done to find the substitutable neck injury criteria in BioRIDIIg. To review corelation trend with neck injury critera and head-neck movement, we compared with recently announced neck injury criteria(NIC, Nkm, T1 ect.) and head-neck X-direction movement in BioRIDIIg. Finally, we find the head-neck X-direction movement on head C.G to T1 point may be considerable as the additional neck injury criteria.

The purpose of the study is to examine the effects of household characteristics on housing expenditure. The data from the National Survey of Family Income and Expenditure 1996 were used for the analysis of this study, and the final sample included 12,323 households. It was found that total housing expenditure was significantly different according to the tenure type, household income, household size, age, occupation and education of the head, or location of housing. The significantly explanatory variables in the model of total housing expenditure were owner and yearly-renter dummy, household income and the household income squared, mortgage-off dummy, Seoul and metropolitan city dummy, and employed-wife dummy.

Small overlap crash caused fatal injury in real-world crash. IIHS(Insurance Institute for Highway Safety) proposed the small overlap test. The objective of this study is to analyze dummy injury criteria and dummy excursion on the sled reinforced body angle. Result of the comparisons of dummy injury criteria of a head, neck, and chest was best correlation between sled and vehicle test on base $angle+3^{\circ}$. However, lower extremity was not correlation because sled test could not copy of intrusion. There were a correlation between dummy movement and sled reinforced body angle. Sled reinforced body angle affects the lateral direction of excursion more than longitudinal excursion.

The research committee for automobile repairs (RCAR), an international body of insurance research centers, has adopted the typical low speed crash test based on an average damage level in crash accidents to estimate the damageability , repairability and safety. The characteristics of body acceleration and the probability of injury are investigated based on damaged components, accelerations of body and injured dummy to analyze damageability and the driver's safety under low speed crash environment. It is found from the experimental results that the probability of head and thorax injuries are very low comparing to the injury criteria of FMVSS No.208. Furthermore, it is suggested that the deployment of airbag may not be necessary at RCAR low speed frontal crash test.

It is necessary to have a dummy that describes the anthropometry of a victim with accuracy. This study presents three scaled side impact dummies constructed for the use of MADYMO. They represent five, fifty and ninety-five percentile Korean males ranged from the age of 25 through 39. Thirty-five anthropometric data were used to scale input files required for MADYSCALE. Geometries, inertia, joints and other parameters for dummies were scaled based on the configurations of EuroSID-1. This study proposes the lateral impact response requirements for head, thorax and pelvis of Korean side impact dummies. A lateral drop impact test was conducted for the head at the height of 200 mm. Lateral pendulum impact tests were also carried out for thorax and pelvis at three specific impact velocities. All these test results were obtained from simulation based on MADYMO. All the procedures of the three tests followed the requirement of ISO/TR 9790.

NHTSA (National Highway Traffic Safety Administration) has offered consumers the vehicle safety information on their car since 1978. NHTSA believes that they contribute auto makers to develop safer vehicle for customers, which will result in even lower numbers of deaths and injuries resulting from motor vehicle crashes. NHTSA has been studied why people are still dying in frontal test despite of the use of many restraints system and they understand that current test does not reflect real world crash data such as oblique and corner impact test. As a result, NHTSA announced that a new test method will be introduced to use of enhanced biofidelic dummy and new crash avoidance technology evaluation from 2019. New and refined injury criteria will be applied to Head / Neck / Chest / Lower Leg. BrIC(Brain Injury Criterion)value in NHTSA test results using THOR dummy from 2014 to 2015 was average 0.91 and 1.24 in driver and passenger dummies. IIHS 64kph SOF test is the most likely to new frontal oblique test in an aspect of offset impact which is being studied by NHTSA. In this paper, we focused on head injury, especially brain injury - BrIC and conducted IIHS 64kph SOF (Small Offset Front) test with Hybrid III dummy to evaluate the injury for BrIC. Based on the test results, these data can be predicted BrIC level and US NCAP rating with current vehicle.

Because individual HRTFs (Head-Related Transfer Functions) vary from a person to a person, a HRTF database has been measured by researchers to investigate the inter-subject variation, and to generate high fidelity virtual sound image. Individual HRTFs not only vary between subjects but also vary due to wearing clothes and glasses in daily life. However, influence of different dressing condition on the measured HRTF was not sufficiently investigated. To quantify the effect of wearing clothes and glasses, dummy's HRTF is measured in an anechoic chamber with various dressing condition, and is evaluated in the sense of spectral distortion. HRTFs are measured both in the median plane and in the horizontal plane. In the median plane, under 6kHz, effect of different wearing clothes and glasses is negligible. Over 6kHz, however, effect of clothing distorts HRTF about 6dB in the sense of spectral distortion. Moreover, at high frequencies, effect of glasses is no longer negligible. In the horizontal plane, at some azimuths, even additional light cloth over the dummy can change the spectrum of HRTF (6dB spectral distortion) especially when sound source is at contralateral positions. Therefore, HRTF measurement with different wearing conditions can broaden the capability of HRTF customization whose technique utilizes a HRTF database.
