HIC Value

HIC Value

The HIC value is calculated from the resultant acceleration time history of the head centre of gravity filtered through a class 1000 filter. The HIC value is then calculated from;
Where a is the acceleration expressed in g, and t 1 and t 2 are any two points in time. It is now usual for an upper limit on the range t 2 -t 1 of 36ms to be applied.
