Low-acceleration time-extended (LATE) events often precede a crash event. The inertial forces, during such events have the potential to cause changes to the occupant’s “state”, which may result in profound consequences in restraint performance. To quantify these effects, a customized laboratory test fixture was constriucted to mimic oscillatory swerving for a restrained occupant. Healthy adult male volunteers (n=7) were exposed to a series of 4 complete oscillatory cycles with peak lateral accelerations of approximately 0.75 g. Kinematics of key skeletal landmarks of the head and torso were quantified.
