To improve passenger safety, seatbelt systems with pre-tensioner that tightens seatbelt webbing using explosives just before collision are widely adopted. Even though seatbelt must not be unlatched without passenger's operation, release of a buckle due to explosion of pre-tensioner takes place in some situations resulting in serious injury to passengers. To prevent the unintended unlocking, a pendulum like part called anti-g mass is attached to the buckle to block displacement of release button. In this study, the unlocking conditions of anti-g buckle when pre-tensioner explodes has been theoretically investigated. Through multibody model of the seatbelt system incorporating every detailed part of the buckle, dynamic analysis of the seatbelt system with pre-tensioner has been performed including the driver's body model that interacts with seatbelt system. The simulations results has been validated through actual sled test with driver dummy and the seatbelt system.

To improve passenger safety, seat belt systems with pre-tensioner that tightens seat belt webbing using explosive just before collision are widely used these days. Even though seatbelt must not unlatched without passengers' operation. explosive power of pre-tensioner can cause unlocking of a buckle. To prevent the unlocking, an anti-g mass that blocks displacement of the release button has been attached to the buckle. In this study, the dynamics and statics of locking mechanism associated with operation of anti-g buckle has been theoretically investigated, and important design variables that affect the operation of anti-g buckle have been identified. Through the total seat belt system's dynamic simulation using force and displacement inputs obtained from seat belt sled test, design of the proposed anti-g buckle has been validated.

이 논문의 목적은 현장에서 발생되는 자동차 에어백 시스템의 고장사례를 모아 분석하고 연구하는 것이다. 첫 번째 사례에서는 에어백 시스템의 클럭 스프링과 에어 백 모듈 사이 배선 핀의 납땜부가 이탈되어, 배선 접촉불량에 의해 핀이 흔들릴 때마다 에어백의 작동불량 현상이 발생되는 것을 확인하였다. 두 번째 사례에서는 에어백 컴퓨터 내부의 단품 소자의 손상으로 인해 에어백 작동불량 현상이 발생된 것을 확인하였다. 세 번째 사례에서는 조수석 시트 벨트 프리텐셔너(pre-tensioner)의 내부 핀과 저항을 연결해 주는 납땜부 이탈로 인해 에어백 경고등이 점등된 것을 확인하였다. 네 번째 사례에서는 승용자동차가 화물자동차의 후면을 추돌하였을 때 때 범퍼는 상대편 차량보다 낮아 아래로 끼어들게 된다. 이 때 사고의 충격은 차량의 프레임부분에 전달되지 않기 때문에 충격센서가 설치된 프레임부분에 충격이 적게 전달되어 에어백이 작동하지 않은 것을 확인하였다.

For years, Q1.5 (anthropomorphic test device for 1.5 years old infant) and Q3 (anthropomorphic test device for 3 years old infant) dummy protection has been improved considerably by the effort of EuroNCAP. ISOFIX strength of vehicle structure has increased and many child occupant protection tests have made child restraint system (hereafter CRS) optimized for child safety. However, from 2016, EuroNCAP changed the dummy which is used for the child occupant protection from Q1.5/Q3 to Q6/Q10 and these were also adopted in KNCAP from 2017. Therefore, a new method is required to secure the safety for older children In this research, child dummies were tested by using adult safety systems, and the different results from each adult restraint system were compared. Finally, dummies were tested with the CRS harness belt commonly used for infants, which has yielded significant result. In this research, mid-sized sedan and small SUV were used for the test. The researchers of this paper performed sled tests to correlate between the different adult safety belt system and child injury. Following the sled test, an actual vehicle test was conducted to gather the injury data of Q-dummy with the CRS harness belts. This paper will show the advantages of applying a pre-tensioner in the second row for child protection and the necessity of CRS which has its own harness belts to improve safety for older children.
