Abstract

The purpose of this study was to identify main influencing parameters to the responses of the rear-seat female occupants in frontal crash and enhance the protection for rear-seat female occupants with specific design. The results suggested parameters of the restraint system exerted significant influence on the injury severity of the female occupant in rear seats. After parameter optimization, the neck score, the chest score and the general score of the female dummy based on the assessment protocol for adult occupant protection of Euro-NCAP increased by 3.6%, 13.3% and 3.73%, respectively. Protection of female occupants in rear seat could be enhanced by systematically matching the parameters of the restraint system.
