Abstract

There is world- wide increase in the wearing of seat belts, brought about by laws regulating their design and use. With the improved safety this brings, there is also a change in the pattern of injuries which arise, in particular, from the steering system. The wearing of a seat belt changes the most likely injury site from chest to head and both research and proposed legislation recognize this fact. Crash Victim Simulations can predict the nature of potential head /wheel impacts and rely upon design data to represent the wheel correctly.
