Abstract

A new study of the Association Peugeot- Renault (APR) data for lateral impact tests using human subjects was undertaken to determine the quality of the possible correlations between the ITI (Thoracic Trauma Index) and thorax- abdomen injuries. The conclusion reached was that thorax- abdomen protection cannot be based on this criterion; it does not enable to predict the level of injury resulting from a side impact, nor to correctly classify the results of tests carried out under different conditions.
