Reducing the incidence of injuries and fatalities in traffic accidents

Jingwen Hu, PhD, is Associate Research Scientist in the University of Michigan Transportation Research Institute (UMTRI) with a secondary appointment as Associate Research Scientist in Mechanical Engineering in the College of Engineering at the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor.

The primary goal of Prof. Hu’s research is to reduce the incidence of injuries and fatalities in motor-vehicle crashes and other injurious events using a multidisciplinary approach.  It involves 1) collecting and analyzing large-scale injury data to identify the injury problems and assess the performance of safety designs, 2) performing physical tests and computational simulations to investigate human impact responses, injury mechanisms, and injury tolerances for various body regions under field-relevant loading conditions, and 3) developing tools for large-scale computational simulations to explore the best solutions for reducing impact-induced injuries.
