This paper is intended to identify typical problems encountered with commercial and off-road vehicle electrical wiring harnesses, and to offer methods to reduce those problems. It identifies the key steps in the design, manufacturing, and vehicle installation phases that ultimately impact wiring performance. Finally, for these various wiring key steps, best practice engineering recommendations are provided.

During the past decade, there has been a steady increase in studies addressing rollover crashes and injuries. Though rollovers are not the most frequent crash type, they are significant with respect to serious injury and interest in rollovers has grown with the introduction of SUVs, vans, and light trucks. A review of Occupant and Vehicle Responses in Rollovers examines relevant conditions for field roll overs, vehicle responses, and occupant kinetics in the vehicle. This book edited by Dr. David C. Viano and Dr. Chantal S. Parenteau includes 62 technical documents covering 15 years of rollover crash safety, including field crash statistics, pre- and rollover dynamics, test procedures and dummy responses.
