The major objective of accident research for the last decade has been to find ways of reducing the levels of injuries sustained inside impacts to cars. The process commenced with studies of real world collisions to establish the necessary parameters for future legislative requirements. Experimental work followed to design test methods that would simulate side collisions and to design dummies that were able to discriminate between successful and unsuccessful car designs. Most recently this research and development has come to fruition with the publication in 1988 of an Advanced Notice of Proposed Rulemaking by the US National Highway and Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA). The European Experimental Vehicle committee (EEVC) has also published its proposals for side impact legislation.
