Abstract

This study investigates kinematics of a belted passenger during emergency braking. In a test series, it was experienced how close a belted occupant on the passenger seat could come to the instrumental panel with the undeployed airbag during an emergency braking. Two driving manoeuvres with different seating postures which were judged to be very likely in pre impact phases were simulated with a volunteer test person on the passenger's seat. The purpose of the study was to gain experimental data about occupant kinematics in pre-crash situations rather than re-run real-world incidents and injuries. (A)
