Abstract

A study was undertaken recently for the Federal Office of Road Safety in Australia examining occupant safety for passengers of current generation automobiles. Mass crash data was analysed and a follow- up investigation of 150 vehicle crashes was undertaken where at least one of the vehicles' occupants was hospitalised. Side impact crashes were of particular interest here.
