Svein Kleiven's research focuses on injury biomechanics, specifically the mechanics resulting from external violence to the human head. He aims to significantly reduce all types of head injuries by minimizing external forces acting on the head. This can be achieved, for instance, by introducing safety systems. The implementation or modification of these safety systems, such as new car models, is a lengthy and complex process. In recent years, biomechanical simulation models of the head and human body have gained prominence in the design of new safety systems. The Neuronic Engineering unit at KTH is the result of interdisciplinary collaboration with the Karolinska University Hospital. The research primarily targets head and neck injury prevention and aims to enhance clinical neurosurgery treatment outcomes through new technical products and innovations. There has been a dedicated effort to change European legal standards to improve testing criteria for helmets. Collaborative work is also underway with various segments of the European automotive industry on detailed injury simulation models of the entire human body to improve injury prevention.
