Submission IRCOBI Asia

Submissions

Note that for all contributions IRCOBI Council requires that papers offered for consideration have not been published elsewhere prior to presentation at the IRCOBI Asia conference. Papers must be in English.

Scope

The focus of IRCOBI is on the avoidance and reduction of the severity of traffic accidents, with special emphasis on advanced safety technologies and the biomechanics of injury. In addition, papers on sports, aviation and blast injury prevention are welcome. Accordingly, we are particularly interested in submissions in the following areas:

• accident and injury database analysis including crash reconstructions
• injury biomechanics including injury mechanisms, criteria and tissue mechanics (from cellular level to whole body)
• mechanical (crash dummies) and computational models of active and passive human body response to injury
• advanced accident avoidance technologies and assessment methods
• safety aspects of assisted and automated driving, including human factors
• advanced protection methods including adaptive systems for all car occupants (including children and elderly), vulnerable road users (pedestrians, cyclists etc..) and others (bus, truck occupants)
• crashworthiness of future vehicle designs, including compatibility, electric vehicles, small and light weight vehicles
• influence of vehicle and equipment design on injury outcome
• biomechanics and protection in sports, blast, aviation and train accidents

Paper format and review process

All papers must be written in English and are subject to peer review; papers shall not exceed 4 pages. Successful manuscripts will be included in the conference proceedings, presented at the conference and indexed to EI. To prepare a manuscript, please use the templates and follow our style guidelines. Both are provided below.

Publication scheme: All papers are published in the online conference proceedings. Online publication also allows the inclusion of additional material such as data, diagrams, pictures and video sequences in an appendix. All online material is freely accessible. Authors are required to accept a license agreement that enables IRCOBI to publish the conference papers online.
