Abstract

To study the injury index to driver in front crash, this article uses the MADYMO software to establish the driver constraint system model which including car bodies, safety belts and 50% dummy for impact simulation. The simulation values are close to test ones after contrasted with the vehicle impact test. The influence of design parameters including the D-ring friction coefficient of seat belt, airbag strap and steering column on driver HIC, T3MS, THPC are researched by this model. The results show that: The smaller D-ring friction and a longer airbag strap length and steering column crushing can effectively improve the driver safety.
