유럽 NCAP 측면 충돌의 상해치 개선방안 고찰

EuroNCAP(European New Car Assessment Program) announced recently a modified testing protocol for side impact assessment using the EUROSID-2 dummy instead of the EUROSID-1 dummy. The EUROSID-2 dummy is identical in many parts with the EUROSID-1 dummy but shows different behavior in experiments. Hence, the development of a model for the ES-2 dummy is of great interest for the automotive engineers working in the field of safety. This paper shows a technique of improving occupant injury performance when using an EUROSID-2 dummy.
