Spanish layman's summary:

El proyecto ENOP estudia el impacto de distintas posiciones de asiento, incluyendo un ángulo del respaldo de 45°, en la cinemática del ocupante y potenciales nuevos patrones de lesiones. Busca caracterizar respuestas a impactos frontales y recopilar datos para modelos de cuerpo humano.

English layman's summary:

The ENOP project explores the impact of reclined seating positions, including a 45° seatback angle, on occupant kinematics and injury patterns. It seeks to characterize human and dummy responses and gather data for developing and benchmarking human body models. Preliminary findings include PMHS test results and observations on restraint performance.
