Abstract:

The purpose of this report is to present background information and techniques for developing protection reference values (PRV) to use with child dummies in out-of-position (OOP) child/air bag interaction testing. This report summarizes the literature on injury criteria and protection reference values as it pertains to children. As the first part of the background section, child anatomy and physiology are examined with respect to impact injuries. Epidemiology on the types of injuries that children receive in automotive accidents is also reviewed. In addition, data on how human tissue mechanical properties vary with age are presented. The next section assesses injury and PRV development techniques. A literature review on how these techniques have been applied to children follows. Data from regular test programs using child dummies are included for comparison. The last sections employ different scaling techniques to estimate PRV for child dummies. These, together with values from the literature survey, are summarized and presented as proposed reference values. 37 Figures, 41 tables, references, appendice. 1411k, 87p.
