Occupant Injury Patterns In Side Impacts - a Coordinated Industry/Government Accident Data Analysis 830459
The Accident Data Analysis Task Group of a coordinated government/industry project to develop and compare full-scale with subsystem side impact test procedures investigated four areas of side impact injuries. The Task Group ranked crash configuration modes; established injury categories based on predominant body region injured and vehicle interior component contacted; investigated the relationship between these first and second impact variables; and discussed the role of structural integrity to occupant injury.
