PROCEDURE FOR DETERMINING THE SURVIVAL SPACE IN A MOTOR VEHICLE AFTER A ROLLOVER AND AUXILIARY DEVICE THEREFOR

摘要

A method for the determination of the survival space (19) in a motor vehicle after a rollover, in which the contour (6) of the inner space of the motor vehicle has been deformed into a contour 26, consists in the steps of: attaching an auxiliary device (10) on the seat (1 ) whose associated survival space (19) is to be determined, said auxiliary device comprises a hip point (16) defined, measuring the distance of a number of points on the contour (26) of the deformed inner space of the hip point (16), and comparing the measured distances with a defined by the auxiliary device Human contour (18). When to serving device (19), a dummy, the body portion (12) to the lower part (11) by a universal joint (15) and the head part (13) via a telescopic guide (20).
