Analysis and Comparison of Safety of Children and Adult Passenger in Car Based on Crash Tests Results

Abstract:

Most important features of the child seat were presented. There was made analysis of selected dynamic loads acting on mannequins heads during a collision. Comparison of loads acting on the kid in a child seat and the other passengers in a car is presented. In analysis of the results particular attention has been paid on the children's secure in a car. The phenomena of collision child's occipital bone with seat backrest was described. There were presented results of dynamic test of chosen kind of materials, which were expected for having good energy absorbing characteristic. Selected courses of dynamic forces, values of peak forces and time of dynamic forces acting for tested materials were shown. The tests were made on dynamic droptower impact system Instron CEAST 9310.
