Ass.-Prof. DI Dr.techn. Corina Klug

Ich bin Unfallforscherin im Fachbereich Fahrzeugsicherheit mit Fokus auf Trauma-Biomechanik. Ziel meiner Forschung ist es durch die Erforschung des mechanische Verhaltens des Manschen in kritischen Situationen Unfälle und Verletzungen im Straßenverkehr zu vermeiden. Ein besonderer Fokus in meiner Arbeit liegt darauf die Unterschiede zwischen unterschiedlichen Verkehrsteilnehmer:innen im Bezug auf die Fortbewegungsart, ihres Alters, ihres Geschlechts sowie ihrer körperlichen Konstitution zu erforschen um schlussendlich eine sichere, nachhaltige Mobilität für alle zu schaffen. Methodisch arbeite ich seit mehreren Jahren an virtuellen Finite Elemente Menschmodelle und deren Anwendung zur Auslegung und Bewertung von Schutzmaßnahmen. Dabei konzentriere ich mich nicht nur auf die klassische Fahrzeugsicherheit, sondern auch auf Protektoren, Helme und Freizeitunfälle.

Expertise

  • Technische Wissenschaften: Biomechanik mit Fokus auf Trauma-Biomechanik. Dabei geht es darum wie der menschliche Körper auf mechanische Belastungen reagiert. Dies erforschen wir in Freiwilligen-versuchen bei niedrigen Belastungen sowie in Simulationen mit FE Menschmodellen, die stätig weiterentwickelt werden. Ich bin Mitglied verschiedener internationaler Arbeitsgruppen zum Thema Menschmodelle, Fahrzeugsicherheit und virtuellem Testen z.B. bei Euro NCAP, SAE Europe Advisory Board oder der UNECE GRSP (Working Party on Passive Safety (GRSP) of the World Forum for Harmonization of Vehicle Regulations (WP.29)).
  • Gender und Mobilität: Im Rahmen unserer Forschung untersuchen wir den Gender-Safety-Gap und damit verbundene Ursachen. Wir führen Analysen von Unfalldaten durch und Simulationen mit FE Menschmodelle, um den Einfluss unterschiedlicher Köperformen, Massenverteilungen und Alter auf das Verletzungsrisiko zu untersuchen. Gemeinsam mit einer schwedischen Kollegin, leite ich die Informal Working Group "Equitable Occupant Protection" der UNECE GRSP.
