Profile In the past as the engineer with Nissan motor company, my accomplishment was to be participated into SC10 WG2 as ISO secretary and to be delegated as Japanese expert for making pedestrian protection test procedure. As a result two test procedures, based on the faithfulness under the impact-biomechanics and proposed by Japan, have been standardized for pedestrian head protection and leg protection in a car-to-pedestrian collision. And then, my expertise are not only pedestrian protection, but also bicycle occupants protection. Currently, the development of the safety technology for miniature cars required as global warm is engaged.
Research Field(Keyword & Summary)
  1. Crashworthiness, Occupant safety, Protection for vulnerable road users(,Pedestrian Safety, Cyclist Safety)

    Improvement of impact safety performance for occupants/protection of vulnerable road users
