Abstract

It cannot be affirmed that steering system generates a manifest over-risk for drivers. Improving protection for front restrained occupants involved in frontal collisions will consist, for the main part, in better ride-down between restrained occupant and passenger compartment. That will result in reducing load on the thorax and frequency and seriousness of lower members contacts.
