This chapter briefly discusses the basic mechanics that govern the collision of vehicles. It focuses on mechanics of direct central impact to understand the energy dissipation in collinear collision. The chapter also discusses various crash impact tests for vehicle's safety regulation. There are three levels of tests generally conducted in assessment of crashworthiness: component test, sled test and full‐scale barrier crash impact test. The chapter describes the fundamental concept in understanding the importance of restraint systems, the response of vehicle and occupants, and compatibility between the occupant and the restraint systems. It also describes three standard restraint systems implemented in most vehicles: air bag, safety belts and energy absorbing (EA) steering column. The chapter briefly explains crashworthiness of a vehicle and the way the crash energy is managed within the vehicle. It also focuses on few parameters commonly used in quantifying the crash energy absorption of a vehicle structural member.
