Abstract
To minimize the death and injury by a collision, the installation of an air bag is recommended as a mandatory practice together with the wearing of the seat belt. By using simulated collision experiments, this research focused on the effect of an air bag and seat belt on the driver safety. The vehicle deceleration characteristics were obtained from impact experiment. LSDYNA, a software program for vehicle collision analysis, and MADYMO. a software program for driver motion after collision, were used for simulated experiment. Four cases such as air bag installed and seat belt wearing (case A), air bag installed but seat belt not wearing (case B), air bag not installed but seat belt wearing (case C), air bag not installed and seat belt not wearing (case D) were analyzed. The impact of acceleration on the injury of driver's head was analyzed by Head Injury Criterion (HIC) as well. It was found that having air bag and wearing seat belt effectively reduced driver's head injury about 52.9% to 70.5% compared with the case of having neither air bag nor wearing seat belt.
