Abstract:

In order to investigate the differences in driver’s out-of-position response under different braking intensities of dummy and human models, simulation experiments of dummy and human models were carried out. The driver-restraint system models of test device for human occupant restraint (THOR) dummy and total human model for safety (THUMS) were constructed, and the driver-restraint system model of active human model (AHM) was constructed by coupling the AHM of MADYMO and LS-DYNA finite element restraint system. The displacement-time history curves of the head, shoulders, chest and knees of dummy and human models were extracted, and the out-of-position difference analysis of dummy and human models and the analysis of driver’s out-of-position under different seat belt constraints were carried out. The results showed that the 3 models are within the range of the volunteer response channel with reference to the volunteer experimental data, and the AHM and THUMS have higher biological realism of out-off-position motion. Compared to standard seat belts, active pretension seat belts can effectively reduce the driver’s response to disengagement under autonomous emergence braking (AEB) conditions.

Key words: out-of-position response, autonomous emergency brake (AEB), active pretention seatbelt, active human model (AHM), total human model for safety (THUMS), test device for human occupant restraint (THOR) dummy
