Head motion analysis of the KPSIT c50 dummy in simulated low-speed collisions Summary. This study focuses on the KPSIT C50 dummy to examine the impact of modifications to seat belts and vehicle seating. With the increasing frequency of sudden braking and vehicle collisions, particularly during traffic jams, understanding these factors is crucial. Experiments were conducted on a specially designed teaching platform that measures seat belt forces and the displacement of various body parts (whether of a dummy or a human volunteer) during low-speed crash tests. This research is part of a comprehensive investigation involving crash tests with volunteers and KPSIT physical dummies. A total of 150 volunteers participated, organized into specific percentile groups. The study compared the displacement of the head centers of the KPST C50 dummy with that of volunteers categorized as C50. The findings highlight that utilizing a sports seat with four-point seat belts significantly limits head movement during low-speed collisions. This type of seating offers enhanced safety by minimizing the risk of head injuries from impacts with the steering column in collisions where the airbag has not been activated. Additionally, the results indicate that standard passenger vehicle seat belts allow for more forward head movement during a collision.
