The bibliography covers impact tests for car design, for studying passenger safety, and for design and safety of highway structures and barriers. Impact tests for car design include areas such as collision research, research on standard vehicles and their crashworthiness, damage susceptability, and automobile-body-structural studies for design of bumpers, doors, and front end. Passenger safety studies include accident research, injury severity, biomechanics, kinematics and modeling; anthropomorphic test dummy usage; design of safety devices for occupant protection, such as belts and air bags; and pedestrian safety studies. Impact tests of highway structures and barriers include design and safety studies on median and traffic barriers, crash cushions, breakaway signs and luminaire supports, guardrails, bridge rails, and like structures. (This updated bibliography contains 255 citations, 35 of which are new entries to the previous edition.)
