“…Researchers in China have established the model for car restraint system, and conducted vehicle crash simulation calculation and sensitivity analysis of restraint system parameters, including airbag folding method, safety belt technology parameters and steering tube energy absorption design [6][7][8][9][10][11]. Vehicle seat is very important in restraint system, and plays a vital role in occupant protection, which is significantly different as the various seat position and seat back angle [12]. In this paper, a certain car was researched through taking some important evaluation parameters of European New Car Assessment Programme (Euro NCAP) as evaluation index, and establishing a relatively accurate restraint system model to analyze the impact of different seat position and seat back angle on driver's occupant head injury in side impact.…”

Occupant head protection is very important in frontal impact. In this paper, a restraint system model was built with Hybrid Ⅲ 50% dummy in MADYMO, and then the parameters of belt and airbag were adjusted to consummate the model. Then the effects of different seat longitudinal position and seatback angle on driver's head injury were analyzed. The level of occupant head injury was estimated with head acceleration peak value and HIC. The simulation results indicated that seat adjustment had obvious effects on occupant head protection. Over moving of seat longitudinal position and seat back angle could cause visible injury of occupant head, while an appropriate position enhanced the protection.
