Experimental and Mathematical Biomechanics Injury Research IDIQ

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) Office of Vehicle Safety Research (OVSR) requires specialized research, analysis, and technical support services to support the Experimental and Mathematical Biomechanics Injury Research (EMBIR) program. This procurement establishes an Indefinite Delivery, Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract to investigate human injury mechanisms and prevention strategies for motor vehicle crashes. The scope involves four primary research domains: experimental biomechanics to evaluate injury tolerance through physical testing, technical support for the development and assessment of Anthropomorphic Test Devices (ATDs), computational modeling to simulate crash scenarios using finite element models, and crash and injury data analysis utilizing data science tools like machine learning to enhance vehicle safety metrics.
