A Systematic Evaluation of Restraint System Performances for Tactical Vehicles in Frontal Crashes

Abstract

The objective of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of a set of occupant restraint systems, including different types of seatbelts and airbags, in a light tactical vehicle under frontal crash conditions through sled testing. Twelve sled tests were conducted using a sled buck representing the commander compartment of a light tactical vehicle under a crash pulse within the FMVSS No. 213 testing corridor.
