In frontal crashes, one of the primary reasons for occupant injuries is hard contact with the vehicle interiors. While restraints like airbags, seat belt pre-tensioners etc. help in preventing direct contact of the upper body region; vehicle interiors play a critical role in controlling the lower body region injuries. Knee injuries can be controlled in various ways as follows: All the above options have their own advantages and limitations. This paper explains the effect of dashboard stiffness tuning for controlling knee injuries in a frontal crash. The development methodology and some validation tools are discussed using a case study.
