Abstract

The work reviews the most common biomechanical datasets (and related prediction/regression formulas) available in the literature and devises a three-dimensional parametric human model suitable for multibody applications. The focus is on bicycle and motorcycle riders. The model presented has been implemented in ADAMS and compared against experiments.
