Simulation on Injury to Driver under Car Front Crash Condition

Article Preview

Abstract:

To study the injury index to driver in front crash, this article uses the MADYMO software to establish the driver constraint system model which including car bodies, safety belts and 50% dummy for impact simulation. The simulation values are close to test ones after contrasted with the vehicle impact test. The influence of design parameters including the D-ring friction coefficient of seat belt, airbag strap and steering column on driver HIC, T3MS, THPC are researched by this model. The results show that: The smaller D-ring friction and a longer airbag strap length and steering column crushing can effectively improve the driver safety.
