Abstract: In order to study the effect of the posture on the injury risk of driver in frontal collision, based on test data of car crash, a simulation model was built for “vehicle cockpit-driver-constraint system” by using MADYMO software, and was verified. 100% frontal collisions at speed of 50 km/h were simulated. The injury to driver having 8 kinds of different posture was studied and analyzed after frontal collisions. The results show that the posture of driver has a great influence on the risk of injury to driver in frontal collision,and that the longitudinal position of driver has the greatest effect on the risk.

Key words: 100% frontal collision, sitting posture, injury risk, driver, MADYMO simulation
