Abstract

The objective of Workpackage I of the CREST (Child Restraint System for cars) research programme is to acquire knowledge on injury mechanisms through an in-depth investigation of some 400 accident cases involving children using child restraint systems. These cases meet selection criteria of front or side impact, age of child, and injury severity of occupants. In this paper, the information gathered and the various methods of investigation of accident cases are described. A summary of information collected to date includes the number of children by injury severity, restraint type and age, and example cases are presented. (A) See also ITRD D342322.
