  • A Proposal for Rear Seat Head Restraint Geometric Ratings
    A PROPOSAL FOR REAR SEAT HEAD RESTRAINT GEOMETRIC RATINGS Avery, Matthew Weekes, Alix Mary Brookes, David Thatcham, UK Paper Number 11-0131 ABSTRACT The paper offers a new insight into the protection offered by rear seat head restraints against whiplash Consumer safety ratings organisations have injuries. The ratings can be used by consumer published static ratings of the head restraint safety organisations to increase public awareness geometry, with the aim of raising public awareness and to encourage development of rear seats that can of correct head restraint positioning, and offer protection against whiplash injuries. encouraging vehicle manufacturers to improve geometry. The geometry of front seat head INTRODUCTION restraints has improved each year, but the rear seats have not been investigated. Research into A number of consumer safety ratings organisations protection against whiplash injuries has shown that have published static ratings of the head restraint reducing the head restraint backset and improving geometry since 2003, with the aim of raising public height is effective in reducing real world injury awareness of correct head restraint positioning, and risk. In comparison to the front seats whiplash encouraging vehicle manufacturers to improve injuries occur less frequently in the rear seats, but geometry. These geometric ratings assess the rear seat occupancy can be as high as 12%. The proximity of head restraint to the head of a 50th research objective in this paper is therefore to percentile male occupant, using a H-Point Machine examine the head restraint geometry of the rear (HPM) and Head Restraint Measuring Device seats in comparison to the front seats, by presenting (HRMD) [1].
