Head contacts in second-row pediatric occupants when the front-seat is reclined during automated emergency braking

Seating configurations for autonomous driving will include reclined front seated occupants, which may expose child occupants seated directly behind to head impacts even in pre-crash scenarios. This study used mathematical modelling to investigate head contact for second-row child occupants seated be...

Description
Summary:Seating configurations for autonomous driving will include reclined front seated occupants, which may expose child occupants seated directly behind to head impacts even in pre-crash scenarios. This study used mathematical modelling to investigate head contact for second-row child occupants seated behind a reclined front-seat during an automatic emergency braking (AEB) scenario. Although characterized by low speed (
