Abstract
The new safety standards or car assessment programs for passive
safety lead to the stiffening of car bodies. Consequently, the
loading of occupants increases, generating a higher injury risk to
the thorax. To avoid this increase in undeformed cars, more
efficient restraining systems have to be developed. But the
improvement of performances should not increase out-of-position
(OOP) risks, in particular to the neck and thorax of adults and to
children.
This paper deals with the development of a new restraining
system combining a belt with 4 kN force limiter and an airbag with
pressure limitation. In order to have a biomechanical evaluation of
real protection on human being, the OOP injury risk is studied by
Post Mortem Human Subject (PMHS) experiments.
