Abstract |
In 1976 a one year study on severely and fatally injured users of seat belts has been performed in Switzerland. During this program 304 accidents involving 410 persons (257 OAIS 2 - 6, 153 OAIS 6+) were investigated. In this report certain aspects of lateral collisions in connection with the data obtained in the field study are analyzed. The average ISS for nearside and offside occupants is shown to increase significantly with increasing Av, whereas the influence of the mass ratio of the involved vehicles is less pronounced. A mathematical simulation analysis of the influence of the intrusion and the lateral distance of the occupant from the impacted door on the attained shoulder force levels is demonstrated.
