Ciallaíonn ‘ceannbhac inchoigeartaithe’ ceannbhac atá in ann bogadh go neamhspleách ar chúl an tsuíocháin idir dhá shuíomh ar a laghad atá beartaithe d’úsáid taistealaithe.
‘Adjustable head restraint’ means a head restraint that is capable of movement independent of the seatback between at least two positions of adjustment intended for occupant use.
an fad ón tadhlaí X-phlána chuig an bpointe is faide siar ar an gcúl suíocháin lena n-áirítear tacaí cinn an ró suíochán deiridh nó an landair leis an bpointe is faide chun tosaigh den tadhlaí X-phlána leis an urrann cúil dúnta i.e. an doras cúil nó na cúldoirse nó aon dromchla teorantach eile
longitudinal distance from the X-plane tangent to the most rearward point on the seatback including head restraints of the last seating row or the partition wall to the foremost X-plane tangent to the closed rear compartment i.e. the tailgate or rear doors or any other limiting surface
Socrófar géaga láimhe uachtair an riochtáin tástála ionas go mbeidh siad chomh gar agus is féidir do thaobhanna an riochtáin, agus beidh cúl na ngéag láimhe uachtair i dteagmháil le cúl an tsuíocháin agus na huillinneacha lúbtha ionas go mbeidh na méara beaga ar dhá lámh an riochtáin i dteagmháil le cúisín suíocháin na feithicle agus beidh bosa na lámh casta i dtreo leasracha an riochtáin.
The test dummy’s upper arms shall be positioned so that they are as close to the sides of the dummy as possible, with the rear of the upper arms being in contact with the seatback and the elbows bent such that the small fingers of both hands of the dummy are in contact with the vehicle seat cushion with the palms of the hands facing towards the dummy’s thighs.
Ceadaítear dhá phointe dheachúla d’am teagmhála (suas le 1 ms) más féidir a chruthú gurb ann dóibh mar gheall ar dhroch-theagmhálaithe leictreacha; ní mór imscrúdú a dhéanamh orthu sin áfach, i ndáil leis an scannán chun a chinneadh an é nár tharla na bristeacha teagmhála mar gheall ar fheiniméin bhithmheicniúla amhail rampáil riochtáin, titim an cheannbhaic nó chúl an tsuíocháin, nó ‘preabadh’ an chloiginn le linn teagmháil neamh-struchtúrach leis an gceannbhac.
Two decimal places of contact time (up to 1 ms) are permissible if it can be proven that these are due to poor electrical contacts; however, these must be investigated with reference to the film to ascertain whether the breaks in contact are not due to biomechanical phenomena such as dummy ramping, head restraint or seatback collapse, or ‘bounce’ of the head during non-structural contact with the head restraint.
