Abstract

Technical measures taken to increase passenger protection in vehicles refer to head-on, side-, rear-end-collisions and rollovers. This paper deals with a very small section of this broad spectrum of safety measures- namely the head-rest. The kinematics of passengers during a rear-end impact show that the head-rest-particularly during this type of collision - can prevent unendurable movements of the head relative to the upper body.
