Abstract Within the present research study we aim at running a frontal collision virtual simulation in order to establish the driver’s kinematic and dynamic behavior at the impact moment by means of LS-DYNA software. Hence, our research study further underpins a contrastive analysis regarding the driver’s injury degree in the head region versus the riskiest positions to cause the highest injury degree in frontal collisions. Thus, we have considered several situations in which the dummy is first sited in its normal position, and then, in turns, it is incorrectly positioned on the driver seat so as to analyze the action of the passive safety systems, i.e. the safety belt and the airbag system. Our kinematic and dynamic behavior analysis at the impact moment was carried out starting from the driver’s normal position, when the Hybrid III—5th percentile dummy female was positioned with the thorax area centered to the steering wheel at a distance of 350 mm.
