To study the injury values rear seat occupants sustain in the frontal collision, this paper constructed the simulation model of the rear occupant restraint system of a vehicle model using MADYMO software. The influence of the rear 3-point seatbelt stiffness and retractor locking feature, the rear seat cushion stiffness and angle with the vehicle floor on head injury criterion HIC36, thorax 3ms resultant acceleration T3MS, thorax performance criterion THPC, left and right femur force of rear occupants were analysed through the simulation model. The conclusion shows that HIC36 drops when the seatbelt stiffness increases and retractor locking feature decreases compared to the original values; HIC36, T3MS, left and right femur force become less when the seat cushion stiffness decreases and angle increases compared to the original values.
