Abstract

Because mini-cars are less safe in both multivehicle and single vehicle collisions, a project was initiated to identify those types of accidents where the small vehicles are over-represented in either crashes or crash injuries. The analysis involved accident and roadway data and computer simulation runs related to vehicle dynamics. Results include the general finding of increased rollover propensity of these small vehicles in almost all type crashes.
