Whiplash Protection System (WPS) Market Segment Forecasts up to 2020, Research Reports

 Whiplash Protection System (WPS) Market
Whiplash protection system (WPS) is incorporated in the backrest of front seat, to protect front seat occupant’s neck from any whiplash injury in case of a rear collision. In whiplash protection system (WPS), the entire backrest of the seat is designed to protect the neck of driver from colliding back on the headrest. The whiplash protection system is designed in such a way that the backrest moves along with the occupant while the headrest stays rigid to support the neck. Thus, the entire mechanism ensures that the back of the occupant doesn’t move far away from the backrest when a rear collision occurs. Whiplash protection systems absorb energy from the impact of rear collision in order to protect the front seat occupants from sustaining any major injuries. This absorption of energy is done by a virtual pivot placed at the base of the seat and another metal piece inside the backrest. The virtual pivot lets the seat move backwards along with the actual hip joint of the occupant during rear collision in order to absorb the additional energy. The metal piece in the backrest absorbs the excess energy by allowing the headrest to slightly recline forward.
