Abstract

In this study, for a safetv assessment of light weight wheelchair occupant in frontal crash, we tested a dynamic sled impact test. we carried out total 6 times test and impact speed was 20g/48 km/h. By using Hybrid III 50%ile male dummy, head injury criteria(HIC), neck flexion moment, neck axial tension force, neck shear force. chest acceleration, head, wheelchair and knee excursion were measured, we evaluated light weight wheelchair occupant safety by motion criteria(MC) which proposed in SAE J2249 and combined injury criteria(CIC) which is a voluntary standard(GM-IARV) of General Motors Co.. when we assumed that the maximum injury value in frontal crash was 100%, the result of motion criteria(MC) of wheelchair occupant was 52%, occupant upper body injury index(CIC) was 60.1%.

본 연구에서는 경량휠체어 탑승자의 차량 전방충돌시 안전성 평가를 위하여 동적 슬래드 충격실험을 하였다. 실험은 총 6회 시행하였으며 충격속도는 20g/48 $\pm$2km/h 였고, Hybrid III 50%ile 성인남자 인체모형을 사용하여 두부손상기준(Head Injury Criteria), 목의 굴전모멘트, 축 인장력, 전단력, 흉부 가속도. 두부, 휠체어, 무릎의 전방 쏠림량을 측정하였으며 미국자동차학회 규격인 SAE J2249에서 제안한 동작기준 (Motion Criteria)과 미국 제너럴모터스사의 자체기준(GM-IARV)인 복합상해기준(Combined Injury Criteria)을 이용하여 안전성평가를 하였다. 실험결과는 경량 휠체어 탑승자의 전방 충돌 시 최대 상해치를 100%로 봤을 때 휠체어와 탑승자 거동의 위험도지수 MC는 52%, 탑승자의 상체 위험도지수 CIC는 60.1% 였다.
