Research on the protection of far-side occupants under different side impact conditions

In the development of side-impact safety performance in automobiles, the injury conditions of far-side occupants have gradually been incorporated into the evaluation system of automotive safety in China. This study, based on three side-impact conditions in the Chinese automotive safety assessment system, employs the finite element method to analyze the injury and motion characteristics of far-side occupants under various impact scenarios. The results indicate that in the C-NCAP 75 POLE condition, certain impact areas of the far-side dummy sustain more severe injuries. These findings provide data references for the development of safety performance measures aimed at protecting far-side occupants.
