The Backseat Passenger Protection Point of View in Car Design Requirements

Backseat passenger protection, either for the protection of children or adults, is more limited than on the front seats. It is caused by the smaller possibility to secure the passenger in the appropriate seating position and, in the case of children, reduce control of their behaviour during the journey by the driver. Any misuse causes serious injuries and fatalities, which, moreover, have a significant impact on national economies and society (serious injuries, loss of workforce, life-long treatment, etc.), and which should be decreased. Even though there is no regulation dedicated to this area, the producer should take it into account in the designing stage - in cooperation with suppliers of the respective parts. Quality Function Deployment and Voice of Customer, where society is the customer of the car producer can be implemented.

Keywords: Passive safety, child restraint system, passenger protection, QFD, VoC.
