【 摘 要 】

The purpose of this research is to develop the prototypes of advanced motorcycle seat and protective equipment of compulsory helmet wearing through experimental evaluation. In this prototype, suitable sensors for detecting pillion, strapping chin and wearing helmet of motorcycle users are integrated with the existing motorcycle and helmet. These sensors were developed and investigated through the experimental testing procedures. For the evaluation of pillion seat sensor, the hip of dummy hybrid III 50th percentile male was used with the discrete values of mass on the sliding machine at each position of pillion seat. To conduct the experimental evaluation of strapping chin and wearing helmet conditions, the EN960 european standard headform were used at each position. Consequently, the functional detective range of the developed prototypes are identified and specified at pillion seat, chin strap and helmet wearing conditions. Additionally, these results are planned to develop an advanced system for supporting motorcycle users and increasing awareness of injury reduction.
