TY - JOUR PY - 2011// TI - Pre-impact braking influence on the standard seat-belted and motorized seat-belted occupants in frontal collisions based on Anthropometric Test Dummy JO - Proceedings of the International Research Council on the Biomechanics of Injury conference A1 - Ejima, Susumu A1 - Ito, Daisuke A1 - Antona, Jacobo A1 - Sukegawa, Yoshihiro A1 - Ito, Hisao SP - 301 EP - 305 VL - 39 IS - N2 - The posture of a driver is varied according to age, gender and physique. In addition, this posture further changes just before the collision, due to a driver's evasive maneuvers. In reality, it is difficult for drivers to maintain the standard posture of the Anthropomorphic Test Dummy (ATD). Therefore, it is predicted that these behavioral differences before frontal collisions affect the gravity of injuries suffered by the occupant. The objective of this study is to investigate the influence of braking just before the collision in the frontal impact test with a dummy while considering the effect of the belt-restraint system.
