Abstract

The coupling of MBS and finite element method technique was used to study lower extremities injury of drivers in frontal impact. A baseline model with a HYBRID-III dummy in driver's position was represented. A parameter analysis was carried out to investigate the risk of lower extremities injury. The results showed that safety belt, knee bolsters and footwell intrusion influenced the risk of injuries greatly. Furthermore, the knee airbag and foot airbag were effective countermeasures to mitigate injuries of lower extremities.
