Abstract
The authors are aiming to establish the method that vehicle frontal structure and occupant restraint system are designed simultaneously for the vehicle frontal collision with a balance between structural lightening and occupant safety. In this study, the deceleration waveform on vehicle collision was focused because it can be considered as an interface function between the design of frontal structure and the design of occupant restraint system. By treating the deceleration waveform as a parameter, its effectivity analysis was conducted for occupant injury and the design of occupant restraint system using the Statistical Design Support System, and a correlation among those was considered.
