Analyses of available experimental results suggest that frontal and rear-end automobile collision processes may be simulated by simple model with mass, which represents vehicle mass, and spring, which represents resisting force due to crushing of vehicle structure; it seems that in case of barrier and head-on collisions, spring is one-way linear, and rate does not vary with colliding speeds provided that type of vehicle and mode of collisions remain same; in case of rear-end collisions, experiments indicate that spring is almost rigid-plastic; parametric study was made to obtain design criterion for safety harnesses and vehicle interior geometry relative to occupants for injury reduction.
