The estimation of occupant injury risk at crash accident is one of the most important assessments for the vehicle crashworthiness performance. The design of safety devices such as occupant restraining system also depend on the kinematics of occupant and its injury risk. The real world in-depth accident investigation provides detailed and realistic information of vehicle damage and occupant injury as well as the accident conditions. This paper introduces a statistical analysis of NASS/CDS database and domestic accident data to correlate speed change, vehicle damage extend, and occupant injury at frontal crash. The maximum crush extend shows a linear relationship with the effective impact speed. The injury risks of the occupant with and without restraining were also respectively quantified with the crush extend. This result can be effectively used for the emergent rescue of crash victims with automatic crash notification system.

This paper describe a (mite element computer simulation of a absorption system using full scale car crash test. The full scale test selected for this study is a 80kmh frontal, side and 25% offset impact of a 1993 Ford Taurus vehicle into a absorption system. This absorption system has external rubber and internal steel pannel. This simulation has completed for decision of these components energy absorption performance. Dynamical performance of this system and movement are obtained from this simulation. and then We can appreciate the safety of passenger from measure the vehicle C.G's acceleration.

The leading-cab (high energy absorption area) of rolling stock directly is impacted on the frontal crash unlike other cabs. Thus, leading-cab has a structurally complex shape to solve getting concentrated loads. However, in order to enhance structural performance and to achieve the weight reduction of cab, changing the sizes and adjusting the distance of members do not take an effective result. Therefore, in design phase, to find the material arrangement which helps structural capacity be better should be done. This research applies the topology optimization to concept design of protective shell frame on strategy of crush energy absorption with considering pressure and vertical loads acting on the principal part of leading-cab. In this research, topology optimization method focuses on structural design, and which yields optimal material arrangement under given loads and boundary conditions using density method which has the density of material as design variables. Finally, this research presents optimal material arrangement and structure of protective shell frame on given loads with applying topology optimization.

자동차 측면 충돌사고는 충격흡수공간이 충분하지 않기 때문에 정면 충돌사고와는 달리 발생빈도에 비하여 탑승자의 상해비율이 매우 높은 경향을 나타낸다. 측면 충돌사고 발생시 탑승자를 보호하기 위하여 전세계 각국에서는 자동차안전기준 및 안전도평가 등의 법규를 시행 및 강화하고 있다. 그러나 차체 자체의 충격흡수력을 이용한 수동 안전방식으로는 협소한 공간에 기술을 적용하는데 한계가 있다. 커튼 에어백은 측면 에어백과 함께 현재로서는 측면충돌시 탑승자를 보호하는 가장 효과적인 시스템이다. 본 연구에서는 측면 충돌사고 발생시 탑승자의 머리상해지수를 감소시키기 위한 커튼 에어백의 최적설계를 수행하였다. 충돌 시뮬레이션을 바탕으로 직교배열표와 일원표, 그리고 반응표면법을 순차적으로 적용하고 각각의 결과에 대하여 확인실험으로 검증하여 커튼 에어백의 최적설계를 수행하였다.
