The objective of the ENOP project is to generate reference data that can be used in the validation of HBMs and ATDs in new postures such as reclined postures and investigate new injury types, which might be expected in AV. To this end, 15 PMHS sled tests of 15 mid-sized males in five different seating positions is performed (three PMHS tests per condition, no repeat tests on the same PMHS). These seating positions include various degrees of reclined seat back and seat pan inclination angles.
