These papers present
the prevelance and consequence of lower extremity injuries in frontal
crashes in the United States. Injury criteria, risk curves and recommended
injury assessment reference values for below knee injuries are also
provided for use with the Thor-Lx/HIIIr and Thor-FLx/HIIIr.

Final Rule Nij (Version
10) Reference Implementation (EXE file)
*Self-extracting ZIP file:
This code is a reference implementation of the Final Rule Nij
(Version 10) injury criteria that was written for purposes of clarity
and no consideration has been made for speed. style, or efficiency.
The Standard C++ library was used to avoid any confusion due to
c-style memory allocation.
Program Input: Three ascii x-y
files, where each line of the input file contains two floating point
values, one for the time and one for the y value
*** All three files must have the same
number of points and the same time data ***
*** All input data must be unfiltered and will be filtered within
this program ***
Program Output: The Nij injury
criteria, the time of Peak injury.
