A research program was conducted with the objective of establishing a factual basis for future performance requirements for vehicle interiors. Actual highway accidents were reviewed in detail from a statistical viewpoint to establish interior target areas for given components of the human body and to rank the injury severities produced by the contacts. Engineering analyses, utilizing a computer simulation of the crash victim and experiments with an accelerator sled, were performed to supplement the statistical data and to determine the energy absorption and load deflection requirements for the various impact areas. It is concluded that significant improvements can be made in the protection level provided by existing vehicle interiors. Performance requirements are recommended for several components of vehicle interiors. (Author)
