Human
Impact Engineering was established by
Tom Gibson in 1996
and is a privately owned engineering consulting
company located in Sydney, Australia.
Our
expertise in injury biomechanics and vehicle
safety stems from Tom’s vast experience
in the field. With a background in automotive
design and development, his early experience
in crash investigation led to a special
interest in mechanical and mathematical
modelling of injury causation, and the simulation
and design of safety systems.
Today, HIE is
made up of engineering professionals with
backgrounds in mechanical, automotive, biomedical
and biomechanical engineering. With our
combined skills and capabilities, our work
revolves around the area of injury biomechanics,
with projects including protective system
design and evaluation, establishment of
injury criteria for use with crash dummies,
and investigation and simulation of accidents
and related countermeasures.
Through biomechanical research,
engineering analysis, testing and design,
HIE is committed to advancing the state
of knowledge on injury biomechanics and
to improving protection from impact injury.
