Abstract

Accident data of side collisions show that the head was the most frequently injured body region of child, and main sources of head injuries were the rear door and side window glass. It is not demonstrated how the child head contacted the vehicle side interior. From this study, the hard contact between the child head and the vehicle interior that occurs frequently in side collision accidents was reproduced in a car-to-small car oblique side crash test. Factors of a sled test were identified that reproduce the child occupant kinematic behavior in the SUV-to-small car side crash test.
