Abstract
This dissertation tried to analyze passenger behaviors after an accident with the possibilities of a variety of accidents open reflecting the phases of the times of increasing interests in safety of passengers as the use of means of transportation such as cars and airplanes is increasing. Because a lot of data on head-on collisions, broadside collisions and reverse side collisions have been gathered through lots of experiments and interpretations, I chose to study a relatively unfamiliar subject, dropping collision. For example, I tried to study passenger behaviors in seating position after a dropping collision in preparation for falling accidents due to recent frequently-occurring sinkholes, driver's carelessness or mechanical problems. I used MADYMO, passenger behavior interpretation program, and experimented with 2 meters high Drop Test device which I made in person to increase the reliability of the results. On the basis of these, I compared the real experiments with interpretations.
