Abstract
Automated driving will not only fundamentally change today’s traffic but also accident rates and crash situations. Within the project KAUSAL, a virtual tool chain is built that considers changes in future vehicle safety and allows for engineering of a comprehensive vehicle safety system. Two pillars carry KAUSAL: a traffic-accident simulation with automated vehicles to quantify future accidents and thereafter a state-of-the-art finite element simulation of the vehicle interior involving novel seating arrangements to measure the overall impact on occupant safety. Providing a complete tool chain from the appearance of a critical road situation to loads of car occupants for a given occupant restraint system offers a possibility to identify the optimal restraint system and strategy for future vehicles and the safety of car occupants will be maintained on today’s high level.
