ABSTRACT This study examined the relationship between EuroNCAP ratings for body region protection and real world injury risk for 653 belted drivers in frontal crashes. It was also able to comment on further improvements in crash protection for post-EuroNCAP cars. Protection for the head and lower leg appeared good. In terms of life threatening injury, results showed a need to prioritise chest protection, whilst for impairment, protection for the upper leg and ankle/foot should be considered. The EuroNCAP body region scoring system reflects trends in real crash injury risks to all body regions, except for the chest, where there is no clear trend. More generally, further development in the testing regime could usefully concentrate on a restraint system test and the use of smaller dummies seated appropriately, rather than an increase of the test speed.
摘要 本研究调查了欧洲新车评估计划(EuroNCAP)对车身部位保护的评级与653名在正面碰撞中系安全带驾驶员的实际受伤风险之间的关系。同时,该研究还能够对EuroNCAP之后生产的汽车在碰撞保护方面的进一步改进提出意见。头部和小腿的保护效果似乎良好。就危及生命的伤害而言,结果表明需要优先考虑胸部保护,而对于损伤,应考虑对上腿部和脚踝/脚部的保护。EuroNCAP车身部位评分系统反映了除胸部外所有车身部位在实际碰撞中受伤风险的趋势,胸部受伤风险没有明显趋势。更普遍地说,测试制度的进一步发展可以有效地集中在约束系统测试以及使用适当就座的较小假人上,而不是提高测试速度。
