N2  - It is admitted that the conditions of crash simulations in the framework compliance tests are too idealized. The present trend is to approximate more closely to reality. It is therefore important to specify the simulation conditions which most affect occupant protection. Among the conditions taken into consideration, there is the seating position of the occupant. The aim of this study is to describe some more realistic driver's postures in light cars and to evaluate their influence on the safety belt restraint efficiency in frontal crashes. As a first stage the paper presents the survey conducted on a sample of drivers whose postures have been examined after driving. Then a dynamic test series simulated with a dummy will be detailed in order to analyze the influence of parameters such as seat and restraint characteristics, pelvis orientation, body joint stiffness, and body segments modelisztion.
