The program focused on evaluating the extent of occupant protection offered by a conventional, full-size automobile when involved in various types of intervehicular lateral collisions, and assessing the feasibility of improving such protection by the incorporation of structural, glazing and interior modifications (or combinations thereof). A total of seven baseline and six modified vehicle crash tests were performed, as well as a large number of developmental tests of various energy-absorbing glazing and padding constructions. The report is divided into two parts; Volume I is the main body of the technical presentation and Volume II contains supporting test data and related information.
