Abstract

The seat belt is the most popular restraint system and its effectiveness has been demonstrated through accident investigations and many kinds of tests. However, it is not always easy to evaluate seat belt anchorage location without conducting crash tests or mathematical model simulations. A new method is developed to estimate this effect, which relates the seat belt anchorage location to occupant injury level by adopting the "anchorage coefficient".
