Interactions Between the CRS and Front Row Seatback in Full-Scale Vehicle Frontal Crash Tests
This study builds on and enhances prior CChIPS research on the interactions between rearward-facing
child restraint systems (CRS) and the front row seatback during frontal impacts. Using the Transport Canada full-scale vehicle crash test database, investigators will further characterize the interactions between the anthropomorphic test device (ATD) head and/or CRS and front row seatback during frontal crashes. Additionally, comparisons will be made between the CRS excursions of cases with and without interaction with the front row seatback and the excursions of CRS models with and without a support leg.
