Abstract:

Six kinds of collision conditions were built including the 5th dummy +18°, the 50th dummy +18°, the 95th dummy +18°, the 5th dummy -18°, the 50th dummy -18° and the 95th dummy -18°, based on a sled collision test platform, to improve the National Standard GB 11552 of China for protecting passengers’ safety. The dummy injuries were analyzed in 130 tests of 40 models, to explore the injury risk of torso and lower limbs of occupants. The results show that the dummy head injury factors are 0.66, 0.69, 0.73, 0.95, 0.90 and 0.72 in the six test conditions respectively, having a risk factor of approaching 1 for the dummy torso injury, and having some injury risk for dummy lower limbs. A greater size dummy has a greater injury risk at lower limb, with the injury risk near the impact side of lower limb is higher than that on the other side. Therefore, the authors suggest that the torso and lower limbs of a dummy should be defined appropriately in a future China National Standard GB 11552.
