Abstract:

A multi-point intrusion sled side impact test method was proposed for Child Restraint System (CRS) to reproduce the intrusion on the different parts of door in real vehicle collisions. The method was verified with the real vehicle tests. Using this test method, sled side impact tests were carried out many times to investigate the relationship between the children head injury and the installation modes, the installation directions of the CRS, and the different sizes of child dummies. The results show that the dummy head injury in the ISOFIX+support leg mode is lower than that in the ISOFIX+top tether, the differences of head performance index and head resultant accelerations of the two installation modes are 25.8% and 12.4% respectively; the backward installation is more beneficial to the protection of children's head than forward installation, the differences of head performance index and head resultant accelerations of the two installation directions are 47.8% and 15.9% respectively; the head injury is negatively correlated with the size of the dummy, the larger the dummy, the smaller the head injury.
