The Accident Investigation Division (AID) of the National Centre for Statistics and Analysis has been interested for several years in obtaining certain information on various impact and vehicle types through staged collisions. The specific data needed has been incomplete or unavailable for the majority of staged collisions. Collisions reported herein were performed under Contract DOT-HS-9-02274, entitled "FMVSS 301 Standards Enforcement Testing," and establish data on frontal fixed barrier and rear-end moving barrier impacts. The information collected includes documentation of residual crush and acceleration data for each vehicle in each test.
