National Highway Traffic Safety Administration-Naval Air Development Center Advanced Restraint Systems Dynamic Test Program.

Abstract

Dynamic tests were conducted on advanced passive seat belt restraint systems using anthropometric dummies. The objectives of the work were: (1) To evaluate the degree of occupant crash protection afforded by each system; (2) to measure the dynamic response of the dummy when exposed to impact accelerations for later comparison with human response under similar conditions; (3) to ascertain the structural safety of the restraint system before human testing; and (4) to select candidate systems for human testing.
