Maple Helps Research Next-generation Seat Belt Restraints Aimed at Reducing Passenger Injury in Automotive Collisions
Pre-crash shoulder belt tensioning is a new technology designed to reduce automotive crash injuries. Pre-crash tensioning technology increases the opportunity to secure a passenger safely before a crash. Sensors and logic, designed to anticipate a crash, activate a motorized seat belt retractor that secures a shoulder belt around an occupant before the crash. Craig Good, a partner at Collision Analysis (Calgary) Ltd. and Ph.D. graduate at the University of Calgary used Maplesoft products to create a 2-D occupant model, using experimentally measured data. Once the model was created, it gave Good the flexibility to evaluate different scenarios to optimize the system.

Introduction to MapleSim: The Next Generation in Engineering Modeling and Simulation
August 13, 2008 2:00 pm EDT.

MapleSim builds on Maple’s extensive numeric and symbolic computational abilities to perform high speed simulations of very complex models. MapleSim offers a number of advantages over traditional systems: it has the ability to mix physical components and traditional blocks; model diagrams map directly to the physical system; it offers natural multi-domain modeling; advanced units management; live design documentation; automatic generation of system equations; and model simplification using symbolic techniques. Be among the first to learn about MapleSim!
