It is the essential technique to percept the position of passenger’s head before rear collision to pre-crash headrest for minimizing the one’s neck damage. This research introduces the technique of perception of head using the electrostatic capacity sensor in the head rest.
When the distance between the head rest and passenger’s head is measured, pre-crash headrest could be adjusted to most proper position for Whiplash protection. It will improve safety technology.
