Summary • Region-specific responses • Effective in sensing pure lateral loads • Peak internal sensor deflections oblique<pure lateral • Follows expected contours in oblique impacts • Current 1D IR-TRACC sensor location • Replicates pure lateral response well • Less than optimal for oblique loading • RibEye& 2D IR-TRACC: implications • Injury criteria for oblique loading
