The aim of this paper was to analyze the injury level of the occupants of a vehicle in the case using the AEB system to reduce the velocity of a front-back collision by utilizing virtual simulations in PC-Crash software. This was achieved by conducting simulation at different velocities and 3 passive safety systems configurations. The velocities tested were 70, 75 and 80 km/h to observe the speed reduction of the vehicle in a collision by the AEB system. Also, the occupant was configured in 3 types of scenarios, when the occupant does not have the seatbelt or airbag, when only the seatbelt is used and when both seatbelt and airbag are activated. The results revealed a great speed reduction by the AEB system, reducing the impact velocity and also the occupant presented a reduced injury risk when both passive safety systems are active.
