Abstract

Data from crash tests of current production vehicles were analysed to determine their levels of crashworthiness, and to study causes of aggressiveness of large vehicles against smaller vehicles. In addition, results of crash tests conducted with a load cell barrier test device were analyzed to determine the suitability of the device for measuring vehicle aggressiveness. Analyzes included mathematical modelling of vehicles, occupants and restraint systems, as well as evaluation of dummy response measurements.
