This study examined the performance of three rear-facing and two forward-facing child restraints (CRS) with three anchorage systems: standard seatbelt, LATCH (flexible) and ISOFIX (rigid). Frontal (64 km/h) and side impact (15 km/h) HyGe sled tests were conducted using a sedan buck. Overall, the preliminary findings suggested superior performance of rigid over seatbelt and flexible anchorages, particularly in side impacts. The results also suggest a need for design improvement for CRS with flexible anchorages to increase stability in side impacts. The findings have important implications for the proposed introduction of changes to Australian Standards for CRS to permit both flexible and rigid systems to coexist with conventional seatbelt anchorage systems.
本研究考察了三种后向式和两种前向式儿童约束系统(CRS)与三种锚固系统的性能:标准安全带、LATCH(柔性)和ISOFIX(刚性)。使用轿车座椅框架进行了正面(64公里/小时)和侧面碰撞(15公里/小时)的HyGe滑车试验。总体而言,初步研究结果表明,刚性锚固系统的性能优于安全带和柔性锚固系统,尤其是在侧面碰撞中。结果还表明,需要对具有柔性锚固系统的CRS进行设计改进,以提高侧面碰撞时的稳定性。这些研究结果对于澳大利亚CRS标准拟议的变更具有重要意义,该变更允许柔性和刚性系统与传统安全带锚固系统共存。
