Abstract

A description is given of the behaviour of a driver side occupant restrained by air bag system on a passenger vehicle at a frontal barrier crash. In order to secure effective occupant protection at collisions, it is necessary to conduct close examination into the movement of steering system due to the rearward movement of dashboard as well as vehicle deformation characteristics, generally for vehicles whose crash space at engine compartment is small. The influence of these two parameters on occupant injury indices is examined, using MADYMO 2D computer simulation program.
