COMPUTE THE OCCUPANT LOAD CRITERIA FROM A GIVEN VEHICLE VELOCITY

Computes the Occupant Load Criteria (OLC) in PSI units from a vehicle velocity time history. The OLC is derived by integrating the velocity curve over a specified displacement window and applying an optional acceleration scale factor. Use this worker to evaluate occupant loading severity in crash pulse analyses.

When to use

Classification: process.

Tagged: acceleration, crash_pulse, displacement_window, occupant_load_criteria, olc, psi, vehicle_velocity.

Inputs

Label ID Type Default Required Description
Curve vehicle_velocity vector   Vehicle velocity time history curve (time vs. velocity, e.g. in mm/ms or m/s) used as the basis for OLC computation; must be supplied as a vector/curve object.
Min Disp min_disp scalar 65   Lower bound of the displacement integration window in mm (default 65 mm); defines the start of the OLC evaluation range.
Max Disp max_disp scalar 300   Upper bound of the displacement integration window in mm (default 300 mm); defines the end of the OLC evaluation range.
Scale Factor scale_factor number 1   Multiplicative scale factor applied to the derived acceleration signal before OLC calculation (default 1.0; adjust to convert units or normalise the input curve).

Outputs

Label ID Type Description
curve_olc_psi_output_1 curve_olc_psi_output_1 scalar Scalar OLC value in PSI (g-equivalent occupant deceleration) computed over the specified displacement window from the input vehicle velocity curve.
