The bibliography covers tests results on the crashworthiness and safety of passenger vehicles upon impact with stationary structures, other vehicles, median berms, and curbs. Excluded are reports on air bag restraints and bumper tests. The responses of vehicle structural components are studied in displacement and strain measurements, and in detailed examinations of permanently deformed components following individual tests. Research involves vehicle impacts front to front, lateral, at angles, and onside, as well as collisions involving poles, bridge parapets, highway structures, and safety and test barriers. Anthropomorphic tests are described using experimental test vehicles, rocket propelled sleds, and safety harness. Computerized simulation, mathematical models, and scale model studies are also described. (Contains 186 abstracts)
