Abstract
Recently, due to technological evolutions and social demands, motor vehicles are much requested to be enhanced in terms of occupant safety and comfort. As a result, many countries are reinforcing crash regulations and new car assessment programs. Automotive seats as essential parts to the passenger safety and comfort has become most important parts and many automotive companies concentrate on optimization of Neck Injury protection system. The Known factor to reduce neck injury is reducing relative movement between Head and Torso. This study is focused on reducing torso acceleration to minimize neck injuries by controlling seat back frame.
