Abstract

This paper studies the effect of a failed automotive front seat in the case of a rear-end collision and its effects on the occupants. Also, a comparison is made between a normal seat and a failed one. Two collision tests are conducted on the same conditions to analyze the similarities of the two. The occupants used are biofidelic crash test dummies. The occupant kinematics is analyzed and also the head acceleration is measured. The data is obtained from equipment mounted in the vehicles and occupants but also obtained from a high-speed video recording.
