Methodology for estimating thoracic impact response in frontal crash tests.
This study has investigated the feasibility of estimating chest acceleration from the pelvic acceleration and shoulder belt forces measured on a vehicle occupant exposed to a frontal crash. The method of estimating chest acceleration is based upon a simple two-mass one-dimensional model of a vehicle occupant in which pelvic acceleration and shoulder belt force are applied as forcing functions. ...
متن کاملFrontal sled tests comparing rear and forward facing child restraints with 1-3 year old dummies.
Although most countries recommend transitioning children from rear facing (RF) to forward facing (FF) child restraints at one year of age, Swedish data suggests that RF restraints are more effective. The objective of this study was to compare RF and FF orientations in frontal sled tests. Four dummies (CRABI 12 mo, Q1.5, Hybrid III 3 yr, and Q3) were used to represent children from 1 to 3 years ...
متن کاملBostrom 1 A SLED TEST METHOD FOR SMALL OVERLAP CRASHES AND FATAL HEAD INJURIES
A large portion of fatal crashes are characterized by passenger cars being hit at the front but without engaging the drive train or longitudinal structural beams. The objective of this paper was to describe a cost-effective sled test method developed to address the issue of small overlap crashes and fatal head injuries. A real-life small overlap crash and literature review revealed that, in mos...
متن کاملAssessment of a Pre-crash Seatbelt Technology in Frontal Impacts by Using a New Crash Test Sled System with Controllable Pre-impact Braking
The objective of this study is to develop a new method and tools required for the evaluation of the potential benefits of pre-impact safety restraint systems. A pre-crash sled system that can reproduce controlled pre-impact braking in combination with a variety of crash pulses was built. The sled can be customized from existing vehicles to examine a variety of restraint systems. In addition, a ...
متن کاملBenefits of a low severity frontal crash test.
The US Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard for frontal protection requires vehicle crash tests into a rigid barrier with two belted dummies in the front seats. The standard was recently modified to require two separate 56 Kph frontal tests. In one test the dummies are 50% males. In the other test, the dummies are 5% females. Analysis of crash test data indicates that the 56 Kph test does not ...
