Abstract

This paper provides an overview of NHTSA's rollover crashworthiness research program. This program emphasizes reducing ejections through door openings and side windows. Opportunities to reduce occupant to vehicle interior contacts are investigated through improved restraints, reduced roof crush, and improved upper interior head protection.
