Abstract

In order to reduce the maximum value of occupant deceleration in a vehicle crash, a physical model which utilizes the separated mass of a vehicle was devised to yield an optimal vehicle deceleration wave form. The validity of this model has been certified by a mathematical study and a three-dimensional dummy simulation.
