In January 2001, NHTSA issued a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (NPRM) concerning the regulation of automobile head restraints in Federal Motor Vehicles Safety Standard (FMVSS) 202. This report presents analyses of occupant posture and position data that were conducted in preparation for comments from UMTRI on the NPRM. The focus of this report is on the potential impact of head restraint geometry requirements on the accommodation of vehicle occupant head positions in normal driving and riding postures.
