In this paper we present an integrated mathematical model for the study of frontal collision between two vehicles, incorporating the impact of the two vehicles and the impact between the occupant and the vehicle. Such mathematical model developed determines occupant kinematic parameters, ie acceleration, velocity and movement of the thorax and pelvis, depending on: the primary impact parameters vehicle – vehicle, physical characteristics and occupant belt stiffness.
