The biomechanical research projects deal with different fields of vehicle passive safety, especially with mechanisms of injury, their investigation and predictions of injury severity. The presented article describes a device which helps to understand the spreading of the pulse wave. It causes very dangerous diffuse brain injury, which is responsible for 75% of deaths in traffic.
Keywords: Pulse wave, impulse vessel, diffuse injury, pressure, experiment.
