Abstract

In the case of characteristic quantities with an unusually high scatter and remarkably high uncertainties in establishing limit values, it is often very problematic to determine a particular value as the development target. For this reason, the example of HIC, the Head Injury Criterion, is used to demonstrate the possibility of finding development targets and limits for specifications and regulations without being forced to keep unrealistic safety margins. It becomes obvious that in the example of HIC, a limit of 1500 is much more realistic than, for example, a limit of 1000.
