Rows seats distance is a key parameter for the comfort on coaches. This distance it is also important for the passenger safety and also for example to extend the use of rearward facing CRS in a safer way. This study analyses what could be the minimum distance (based on comfort from volunteer) and how this comfort distance is affecting the passengers level of protection in R80 frontal impact wit...

In the mid-1990s, seat belt load-limiting devices were introduced on many new passenger vehicles equipped with front airbags. These devices are intended to reduce belt-induced injuries such as rib fractures by allowing forward movement of occupants’ torsos when belt loads exceed some threshold. Load limiters have been shown to reduce thoracic injury risk in controlled experiments with cadavers ...

In terms of the eVectiveness at the total population level, seat belts represent the front line of passive safety against death and serious injuries from passenger car crashes. They reduce by about 50% the risk of death and serious injury for car occupants; this knowledge, however, is not promptly translated into action and the frequency of seat belt use in the European Union member states vari...
