Child Safety Seat with Harness Pretensioner

项目总结/摘要 明尼苏达州健康解决方案（MHS）建议开发一种用于机动车的主动线束预紧系统 儿童安全座椅在美国，车祸是儿童死亡的主要原因。孩子 安全座椅是防止儿童在撞车事故中死亡和严重受伤的最有效方法。许多严重 当儿童的头部朝车辆撞击的方向移动时， 撞击车辆表面或以足够高的加速度移动以造成伤害。的目的 拟议的项目是开发一种先进的儿童安全座椅，提供大大改善头部 通过控制头部偏移来保护机动车碰撞。一个原型座椅将被设计，模拟， 制造和测试。

Project Summary/Abstract Minnesota HealthSolutions (MHS) proposes to develop an active harness pretensioning system for motor vehicle child safety seats. Motor vehicle crashes are the leading cause of death for children in the United States. Child safety seats are the most effective way to prevent death and serious injury to children in crashes. Many serious child injuries from motor vehicle crashes occur when the child's head travels in the direction of vehicle impact and strikes a surface in the vehicle or moves with high enough acceleration to cause injury. The objective of this proposed project is to develop an advanced child safety seat that provides substantially improved head protection in motor vehicle crashes by controlling head excursion. A prototype seat will be designed, simulated, manufactured, and tested.
