MEET THE SAFE-UP PARTNERS
AUTOLIV
Who belongs to your SAFE-UP team?
Martin Östling (Senior Research Specialist) is leading Autoliv’s participation in SAFE-UP. Krystoffer Mroz (Senior Research Engineer at Autoliv Research) is providing CAE Support in occupant protection and Human Body Models (HBMs). Linda Eriksson (Senior CAE Specialist) and Mikael Dahlgren (Expert System Engineer) from Autoliv Sweden, are also providing both CAE and system engineering support in occupant protection and Human Body Models (HBMs). Linus Larsson (Expert Design Engineer) at the Seatbelt development department and Stefan Knutsson (Advanced Project Engineering Leader) at the airbag development department have supported WP4 and WP5 with seatbelt and airbag expertise and also support DEMO 1 (Testing new seating positions for highly automated vehicles) prototypes.
What does AUTOLIV bring to the project?
Autoliv brings solid expertise in the area of biomechanics and occupant protection. All members of the team have 10+ years of experience developing occupant protection systems. The CAE support team has extensive experience using various types of crash test dummy models to analyze, design, and optimize occupant protection systems. In addition, the team has human body modelling experience from using the state-of-the-art human body model SAFER HBM.
Why did you want to take part in SAFE-UP?
Autoliv’s ambition is to save 100,000 lives every year by 2030, aligning well with the impact SAFE-UP is hoping to achieve. The project brings many key partners together to define and agree on common priorities for future crash scenarios. We believe that developing safety assessment methodologies for these common priorities is best done in collaboration. Consensus in the project facilitates implementation, foreseeing and resolving potential complications that one partner alone might overlook. We believe SAFE-UP will provide the integrated safety assessment methodologies needed to save more lives on European roads.
Which other initiatives are you involved in?
Autoliv takes part in many projects that receive funding from the Swedish government as well as the European Union’s research and innovation programmes. For occupant protection and the development of Virtual Testing, Autoliv was part of the SENIORS project and the OSCCAR project, the results from which are still highly relevant. For ADAS development and in-cabin monitoring, Autoliv was part of the ADAS & Me project and is also involved in the MEDIATOR project.
