Analysis of Head Injury Criterion in Case of Accidents in Road Transport for Using in Intelligent Systems

Scientific Technical Center "Special Vehicles" of the Moscow Polytechnic University has been conducting research in the field of ensuring the safety of the crew of automotive vehicles for more than 40 years. The specialists of our center paid attention to the fact that, due to revision in the STANAG 4569, maximum permissible safety criteria HIC was reduced by 4 times to 250 units, while the old maximum permissible value of 1000 remained in civilian standards. Such mismatch can be explained by the fact that the STANAG 4569 is regularly reviewed and updated, in contrast to the civil standard, and also by the fact that the criterion does not have a clearly justified unchanged limit value. The authors of this article have repeatedly raised the issue of the incorrectness of the HIC criterion used and its critical values. As a result of the research, it was found out that the injury safety determined by the HIC does not correspond to the injury safety determined by the Wayne State curve, which is referred to by the developers of this criterion. The results can be used in intelligent systems to support decision-making on the selection parameters of road safety systems using artificial intelligence technologies.
