CHILD aims towards a more comprehensive understanding of the injury mechanisms experienced by children of different ages in road accidents, through innovative tools and methods, in order to contribute to revised or improved standards and more efficient design of child restraint systems.

The main goal of CHILD is to improve the child safety in road accidents. CHILD will enable the investigation of injury mechanisms and tolerances for different ages of children and to establish injury criteria and risk curves.
