Abstract: This paper investigates the present research status of finite element human model in car crash simulations and analyzes the shortcomings of finite element dummy model. By doing so, the authors discuss the research trends and hotspot for finite element human model in car crash simulations, also, discuss the feasibility of the finite element human model to replace the finite element dummy model and study corresponding approach, and then analyze the investigation difficulty and the possibility of the new research fields for finite element human model.
