Passenger Safety on Modern Vehicle Restraint Systems
The function of passive vehicle restraint systems – such as safety barriers on roads – is to reduce consequences of vehicles getting off the road by leading them safely back to the lane. Assuming that a safety barrier fulfils all its important requirements (leading the vehicle back, no break through, stable behaviour of the car, no roll over etc.) the major risk for passen-gers is to get hurt due to acceleration during an impact.
The article describes the relevant parameters for passenger safety and provides background information to the interpretation of these values.
