Abstract

Models that predict an individual's probability of severe injury are presented for side and front impacts. Most important variables in predicting injury severity were found to be Delta V (a measure of crash severity) and occupant age. Although the overall predictive capability of the injury severity was good, the proportion of correct prediction of cases with severe injury was low.
