Finite Element Analysis for Investigating the Effects of Muscle Activation on Head-neck Injury Risks of Drivers Rear-ended by a Car after an Autonomous Emergency Braking

Avoidance of frontal collisions by autonomous emergency braking (AEB) in sudden traffic jams has the potential to cause rear-end collisions by the following cars. In this study, finite element analyses using a human body model were performed to investigate how the muscle activations of drivers rear-...
