Human Modelling & Simulation in Automotive Engineering
Sponsored by  |
The application of numerical simulation incorporating digital Human Models characterizes the next exciting step in automotive development. Applying human models in comfort, ergonomics, occupant safety and other disciplines promises to overcome limitations imposed by the use of real humans or their mechanical surrogates. Computer Simulations with digital Human Models will provide better understanding and deeper insight into comfort and safety issues and thus allow for further optimisation of automotive designs.
In May 2007 carhs.training gmbh hosted the first European Symposium on “Human Modelling and Simulation in Automotive Safety” in Aschaffenburg (Germany). Scientific lectures from Prof. K-H Yang, Prof. J Wismans, Dr. E Haug and J-P Verriest, presentations of the software manufacturers on the state of the LS-DYNA, PAM-CRASH and Radioss computer models of humans and application reports from Ford and General Motors on the usage of numerical Human Models in automotive development formed an excellent conference program. The high level presentations and attendees from 14 nations made the conference a success.
Impressed by the quality of this first symposium the participants suggested to repeat the conference biannually and to extend the scope of the symposium beyond safety applications and to include other aspects of the use of human models in automotive development. The organizers decided to hold the second “Human Modelling Symposium” on 18th and 19th June 2009 in Stuttgart (Germany) as a post conference event right after the 21st ESV conference to give participants of the ESV the possibility to visit the 2009 Human Modelling Symposium. Please mark the date in your calendar!
The symposium, to be held for the second time in Germany, intends to continue and further advance the dialog between researchers, developers and users of human models. It is again organized in cooperation with Wayne State University‘s renowned Bioengineering Centre which has been a pioneer and leading institution in biomechanics research for automotive safety for more than 65 years.
The conference language is English!

Beschreibung
Die Verwendung von digitalen Modellen des Menschen eröffnet neue spannende Möglichkeiten zur Nutzung der Computer Simulation in der Automobilentwicklung. Die Anwendung der digitalen Menschenmodelle in Komfort, Ergonomie, Insassensicherheit und anderen Disziplinen erlaubt die Überwindung von Grenzen, die durch den Einsatz echter Menschen oder Dummys gesetzt werden. Simulationen mit Menschenmodellen ermöglichen einen tieferen Einblick in Fragen der Fahrzeugsicherheit und des Komforts und eröffnen damit weitere Chancen zur Optimierung der Fahrzeuge.
Im Mai 2007 hat carhs.training – gemeinsam mit der Wayne State University (Detroit, USA) - das internationale Symposium „Human Modelling and Simulation in Automotive Safety“ veranstaltet. Mit hochinteressanten Vorträgen international anerkannter Experten, wie Prof. King Yang, Jean-Paul Verriest, Eberhard Haug und Prof. Jac Wismans, Beiträgen der Software-Hersteller zum Stand der Modelle in LS-DYNA, PAM-CRASH und Radioss, sowie Berichten von Ford und GM zum Stand der industriellen Anwendung wurde ein umfassender Überblick über das Thema gegeben. Teilnehmer aus 14 Nationen machten das Symposium zu einem vollen Erfolg.
Beeindruckt von dieser ersten Veranstaltung regten die Teilnehmer an, das Symposium im Zweijahres-Rhythmus zu wiederholen und um Anwendungen jenseits der Fahrzeugsicherheit zu erweitern. Daher veranstaltet carhs.training am 18. und 19. Juni 2009 - wiederum gemeinsam mit der Wayne State University - das 2. internationale Symposium. Um Interessenten aus dem Ausland die Teilnahme am Symposium zu erleichtern findet die Veranstaltung unmittelbar nach der ESV-Konferenz in Stuttgart statt.
Vorträge zur Biomechanischen Forschung, zum Stand der verfügbaren Simulationsmodelle und zu Anwendungen in der Fahrzeugentwicklung machen die Teilnahme sowohl für Forscher, als auch für potentielle Anwender aus der Automobilindustrie interessant.
Die Konferenzsprache ist englisch.
