Effect of ABTS and conventional seats on occupant injury in rear impacts: Analysis of field and test data.

CONCLUSIONS: The field data indicate that the 50th percentile male Hybrid III size is representative of an average occupant involved in rear crashes. ABTS seats used in this study are stiffer than conventional seats and increase ATD responses and injury risks over a wide range of crash severities. PMID: 33566713 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
