NHTSA’s Vehicle Research & Test Center designed and fabricated a sled buck to allow for occupant biomechanical response evaluations in both traditional and non-traditional seating configurations. All test data along with seat tear down measurements and component testing, factored into the development and validation of the FE model.Īdjustable Sled Test Buck for Multiple Seating Configurations It also includes dynamic tests with appropriate ATDs to evaluate occupant kinematics and injury in high-severity front and rear impact crashes. The FEM include static tests to evaluate 2019 Honda Odyssey second row seat deformation and potential failure mechanisms. NHTSA funded the development of a Finite Element Model (FEM) of seat with integrated seat belts from a recent model passenger vehicle. Simulation results using these dummies demonstrate the performance in left and right NHTSA oblique frontal crash tests. Occupant kinematics, belt loads, and injury criteria results are compared against the existing test results.

The vehicle FEM also includes test device for human occupant restraint (THOR) 50th percentile male frontal dummy models in the driver and front passenger seats. The resulting FEM represents a model year (MY) 2014 Honda Accord mid-size sedan.
