This study presents the results of an analysis to estimate the effect of a one hundred (100) pound reduction in the average weight of passenger vehicles on the crash rates of driver incapacitating injury. The analysis was conducted as a part of the effort by NHTSA to study the effect of hypothetical decreases in vehicle weight on the crashes, injuries, and fatalities of passenger car and light truck occupants. Crash data from Illinois (1990-1992) and Florida (1991-1993) were used in the study. Using the KABCO injury scale, data from these states on fatal (K) plus incapacitating (A) injuries for crash involved drivers of model year 1985-1993 were analyzed.
