Research activities at the Division of Neuronic, KTH
• Current Projects:– Impact biomechanics
• Helmet research (1996-)
– Clinical applications• Visualisation of trauma (2002-)
• Example of collaboration partners:– Volvo (1997-)– SAAB (2006-2008)– USAARL (2003-2006)– Swedish Police (2000-)

Ongoing helmet research at KTH• Set a new test standard for all helmet segments
– Member in SIS (Sweden)– Member in CEN TC158 (EU). – Member in ASTM (US).
• Safer helmets– FIS - Set a new specification for DH and Super-G helmets.– WG leader in COST TU1101 - Injury reconstruction of bike
accidents. The goal is a better understanding of bike accidents in order to set a new spec for helmets and test methods.

The problem!
• About 20 cyclists and 40 MC drivers are killed, and about 300 cyclists and 300 MC drivers are severely injured every year in Sweden.
• The most common and severe injuries from bike and motorcycle accidents are head injuries.
• Helmet use in EU is 1-37% (Sweden 27%).
• Helmets design have not changed much the last decades

Conservative test methods
Is this realistic?

We defined a need……
• for more realistic helmet test standards
• and helmets with better protection in oblique impacts

MIPS making helmets safer
MIPS reduce the rotational violence by over 40%

Proposal for a new oblique test standard
• Member in ECE (European test standard committee), ASTM (US).
• Active in FIS • For equestrian and bike the proposed impact speed is
7m/s and the impact angle is 30 degree. • The test is done without the neck.• Three different impact sites on helmet.• Use normal drop tower for free falling head. • Pass/Fail criteria – need to decide on injury level – mild
or severe.

Future• Continue with basic research
(Injury reconstruction of real accidents).
• Lobbying for better test methods (all segment).
• MIPS or other helmet technologies for improved protection
