For each seat/head restraint, REAR-END CRASH PROTECTION is an assessment of occupant protection against neck injury in rear impacts at low to moderate speeds. Such injuries usually aren’t serious, but they’re frequent. OVERALL RATINGS are based on a 2-step evaluation. In the first step head restraint geometry (distance behind and below the head of a seated average-size man) is rated good, acceptable, marginal, or poor. Seats with good or acceptable restraint geometry then are subjected to a dynamic test simulating the forces in a stationary vehicle that’s rear-ended by another vehicle of the same weight going 20 mph. Seat/head restraints with marginal or poor geometry aren’t tested dynamically because they cannot protect taller people in rear-end crashes. These seats are rated poor overall. In the dynamic test, measurements are recorded on a dummy (BioRID) representing an average-size man. BioRID is designed specifically for rear-end testing at low to moderate speeds. The DYNAMIC RATINGS are derived from 2 seat design parameters (peak acceleration of the dummy torso and time from impact initiation to head restraint contact with the dummy head) plus tension and shear forces recorded on BioRID’s neck during the test. Overall ratings are based on both geometric measurements and dynamic results.
