초록

We investigated the possibility of preventing a passenger's whiplash injury by rear-end collision. We sought to prevent the whiplash injury by appling an active headrest system to a passenger A main factor in whiplash injury is the backward, rapid, passive, and negative acceleration of the head. Our results showed that the active headrest system does reduce the backward, rapid, passive, and negative acceleration of the head. As a conclusion, Our active headrest system is a useful equipment to prevent whiplash injury.
