Classification: CPC B | IPC B

Claim 16:
17. A system, comprising:
memory storing vehicle simulation instructions executed by a processor for receiving first input related to expected states of a vehicle and another vehicle or object at impact event initiation for a plurality of cases with positions, orientations, and velocities as parameters used for impact event evaluation;
the memory storing vehicle occupant simulation instructions executed by the processor for receiving second input related to expected vehicle pre-crash occupant position and position excursion during a pre-impact event maneuver for at least a portion of the plurality of cases; and
the memory storing combined impact event simulation instructions executed by the processor for simulating an impact event for a simulation case of the plurality of cases using both the first input and the second input to improve the performance of a safety system of the vehicle with a combined effect from a collision avoidance feature and an injury prevention feature.
