Abstract:

Automotive safety is one of the key factors in vehicle product development. New automohile products not only have to meet or exceed automotive safety regulations hut also customer expectations and demands for safety features. According to USA marketing data , there are 78% of new car huyers who are willing to pay more for extra vehicle safety features. Automotive safety technology has a lot to do with injury hiomechanics , the successful development of safety technology depend greatly on whether it passes the injury criteria. This paper gives an in-dept discussion of the relationship hetween automotive safety and injury hiomechanics. The trends in future researches of injury biomechanics and automotive safety are given as the new findings hy the authors.

Key words: automotive safety, injurγhiomechanics, injury limit, mJUIγcriterion, safety regulation, finite element
