Passenger's protection requires reduction of decelerations on occupant (restrained by belt) by intentional deformability of structure, and limitation of passenger's compartment deformation to avoid passenger crushing; therefore, it is necessary to ensure minimum space called "survival space"; survey is made of structure deformations due to longitudinal, transversal and vertical loads dynamically or statically applied on truck cabs and car passenger compartments; high-power static test rig permitting study of structure is described; orientative values of survival space are proposed for truck cabs and car passenger compartments.
