Objective: Previous research has established the effectiveness of active pretensioning seatbelts (APS), also termed motorized pretensioning seatbelts, in mitigating forward leaning and out-of-position displacement during pre-crash scenarios. In the Chinese market, APS trigger times are typically set later than those reported in the literature. This study investigates the real-world performance of APS systems with delayed trigger times under emergency braking conditions.

- Electric two-wheeler (E2W) accidents pose significant safety concerns, particularly for child passengers, which are often overlooked in research studies.
- This study examines how a child's body reacts during vehicle impacts, focusing on the impact of vehicle geometry and seating positions.
- Findings reveal that the height of the child relative to the vehicle hood and their sitting position significantly affect their motion and safety during an accident, which could inform better safety measures and riding practices for children on E2Ws.
Rapidly repositioning finite element human body models (FE-HBMs) with high biofidelity is an important but notorious problem in vehicle safety and injury biomechanics. We propose to reposition the FE-HBM in a dummy-like manner, i.e.
