Head Injury Criterion used to measure potential for head injury.

Syntax

x,y = Hic(time, accel, window, mode=0, specification)

x = Hic(time, accel, window, mode=1, specification)

y = Hic(time, accel, window, mode=2, specification)

w = Hic(time, accel, window, mode=3, specification)

Arguments

Name

Description

time

The time vector of data to analyze (in seconds).

accel

The head acceleration vector. Must match length of time vector and be real only.

window

The window width (in seconds).

mode

0 to output x,y vectors to draw the clip window.

1 to output the x vector to draw the clip window.

2 to output the y vector to draw the clip window.

3 to output a vector containing the height of the clip window, and its left and right end points.

specification

1 = JNCAP (default)

2 = NHTSA

Outputs

Name

Description

x

A vector contain the x coordinates of the hic window.

y

A vector contain the y coordinates of the hic window.

w

A vector containing the height of the hic window, and its left and right end points.

Example

Find the Hic window dimensions associated with a pair of time and acceleration vectors.

Syntax

w = Hic(time, accel, window, 3)

Results

Results as would be seen if printed out.
