14. TOYOTA MOTOR EUROPE 16/02/2014 - page 14 Validated against Real Life Injuries in Accidents => Simulation predicts Injuries correctly

15. TOYOTA MOTOR EUROPE 16/02/2014 - page 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
