Abstract

The concept of escape worthiness as related to motor vehicle safety is presented and explained. Escape worthiness becomes a problem in the post-crash phase of an accident when passengers are entrapped and need medical attention, when the vehicle is submerged in water, and when the vehicle or surrounding environment catches fire.The methodology developed for evaluating the escape worthiness of automobiles and buses, and for evaluating the flammability of vehicular materials is presented.
