Modeling Post-Accident Vehicle Egress

Abstract

This paper describes the application of the Jack human figure model to the analysis of vehicle egress by military personnel following an accident. In post-accident situations, the vehicle attitude may preclude egress by the normal methods that have been addressed in most previous research. For this analysis, the Human Motion Simulation Framework reference implementation was used to aid the simulation. With the current level of functionality, only basic clearance issues could be investigated; improvements to the Humosim Framework and Jack software are needed to enable rapid and accurate generation of motion simulations for these non-standard situations.
