Накратко на български
Инструментът ISABELLE симулира реални катастрофи с мотоциклети и велосипеди, за да провери как различна защитна екипировка или системи за безопасност променят изхода от сблъсъка. Това помага за по-точна оценка на безопасността на превозните средства и екипировката още преди създаването на прототипи.

Integrated SAfety Benefit Estimation tooL for 2-wheeLErs
Motorcycle accidents represent a large portion of road fatalities even though the motorcycle fleet is small relative to cars. ISABELLE project targets on the creation of a benefit estimation tool for the assessment of Personal Protective Equipment, vehicle crashworthiness, integrated safety systems as well as traffic safety policies. This assessment tool was made possible with the creation of new building blocks for the more accurate simulation of real accidents that have already happened. These simulations are parametric and it is possible to add into them new PPE, different vehicles or safety systems and find out what would be the outcome of accident that have already happened in the past. The following building blocks were created during the project: • An Ambulatory Motion CAPture system that allows capturing the kinematics of the occupant or the rider in real environments. • More biofidelic rider simulation models were developed with the use of the AMOCAP system on field experiments and experiments performed on the motorcycle simulator. • Simulation setups with motorcycle crashes were validated against real crash tests. • The validated simulation setups were used for the simulation of real accidents. • New vehicles as a bicycle was digitized and introduced to the simulations, since the assessment tool does not focus only on motorcycles. The above blocks connected with the simulation methodology will be used in future projects for assessment of new devices and vehicles in real accident simulations before building even a prototype.

Цел на проекта
The traffic accidents, with 2wheelers like bicycles, motorcycles and mopeds, represent 23% of total road fatalities in EU. Even though until now there is no clear understanding of the mechanisms of injury of such vehicles. The lack of knowledge and uncertainties of the complex dynamics of 2wheelers accidents is limiting the advancement of protective equipment for them. This is a reason that most of the efforts for development of protective equipment were focused only on helmets and protective clothing and not on devices that would prevent the riders’ impacts with other vehicles or the environment i.e. for the development of motorcycle airbags rather contradictory results came out for their safety benefit attributed from the authors to the overestimation of neck-injuries from the dummy used in the crash-tests. Further electric 2wheelers and new types of innovative ultra-light electric vehicles that offer sustainable urban mobility are developed or already introduced in the market with similar concerns for their safety as the traditional 2wheelers. These types of vehicles are expected to increase their fleet due to their advantages in urban mobility, increasing also their proportion in traffic injuries if their safety concerns are not addressed.The goal of this project is to develop deeper understanding of the injury mechanisms of motorcycle accidents and a new framework for the assessment of safety of all 2wheelers. This project will be realized with focus on motorcycles but the developed methodology, and tools will be applicable to all other 2wheelers.The major expected results of this project are: (a) an ambulatory motion capture system, (b) new knowledge on motorcyclist’s kinematics, (b) development of a biofidelic numerical active human model, (c) better understanding of the motorcycle accident’s injury, (d) the creation of a database of simulations. The simulation database will be developed for motorcycles but it will be applicable to all other 2wheelers.
