Abstract: An optimization method for vehicle occupant restraint system is proposed based on energy ridedown efficiency analysis in this paper. Firstly MATLAB/Simulink software is used to set up a ridedown efficiency-based energy calculation model. Then on this basis, the relationships between restraint system parameters and the energy ridedown efficiency and injuries of occupant are found. Finally the surrogate model for occupant injury is built, on which an optimization is conducted with a result showing that after optimization the WIC value of occupant injury is 0.365 8, and compared with that (0.387 6) for original model, WID reduces by 5.62%

Key words: frontal offset crash, energy analysis, ridedown efficiency
