Abstract

This report quantifies the characteristics of ran-off-road crashes and identifies appropriate impact conditions for use in full-scale crash testing. Many of the decisions related to design guidelines and policies can benefit from better information on the impact conditions of ran-off-road crashes. The report will be of particular interest to personnel responsible for the design of roadside safety features. Appendices A through F of NCHRP Report 665, which are as follows, are available online at http://onlinepubs.trb.org/onlinepubs/nchrp/nchrp_rpt_665Appendices.pdf Appendix A (Annotated bibliography); Appendix B (1997–2001 NASS CDS Cases); Appendix C (Supplemental Data Collection Protocol); Appendix D (Database content); Appendix E (Additional tables, plots, and analysis results); Appendix F (Proposed data collection forms continuous sampling subsystem).
