Abstract

Background and goals of the Japanese experimental safety vehicle (ESV) program are described which emphasise both accident avoidance and occupant protection. The selection of Toyota, Nissan, and Honda for ESV research is discussed, along with their differences in specifications. Prototype designs are reported and illustrated which show energy absorbing devices and materials.
