Abstract

Lateral impacts with narrow objects subject the side of the vehicle to highly concentrated loading. Passive safety systems such as thoracic and head side airbags attempt to prevent injury during the given impact. The aim of the research is to evaluate the real-world effectiveness of the airbags systems by reviewing NASS-CDS data. The risk of injury is directly compared for vehicles with and without the deployed airbags. A total of 209 raw events (60,794 weighted) were obtained, of which 38 (2784 weighted) vehicles provided additional thoracic protection with the airbag and 28 (2450 weighted) had a head airbag deploy. The results indicated a strong protective ability of the head side airbags to prevent injury. On the other hand, no distinctive benefit could be attributed to the deployed thoracic airbags.

车辆被动安全系统在横向固定物体碰撞中的有效性

与窄物体的横向碰撞使车辆侧面受到高度集中的载荷。被动安全系统，如胸部和头部侧安全气囊，试图在给定的冲击中防止受伤。该研究的目的是通过审查NASS-CDS数据来评估安全气囊系统在现实世界中的有效性。受伤的风险直接比较车辆与没有展开的安全气囊。总共获得了209个原始事件(60,794个加权)，其中38个(2784个加权)车辆配备了额外的胸部安全气囊，28个(2450个加权)车辆配备了头部安全气囊。结果表明，头部侧气囊具有较强的防伤保护能力。另一方面，没有明显的好处可以归因于展开胸部安全气囊。

期刊介绍： The IJVS aims to provide a refereed and authoritative source of information in the field of vehicle safety design, research, and development. It serves applied scientists, engineers, policy makers and safety advocates with a platform to develop, promote, and coordinate the science, technology and practice of vehicle safety. IJVS also seeks to establish channels of communication between industry and academy, industry and government in the field of vehicle safety. IJVS is published quarterly. It covers the subjects of passive and active safety in road traffic as well as traffic related public health issues, from impact biomechanics to vehicle crashworthiness, and from crash avoidance to intelligent highway systems.
