Abstract Crash injury prediction models are developed for major crash configurations using data from in depth crash investigations. Analysis of these models demonstrates the positive contribution of higher impact velocity to crash injury, especially for head on and side impact crashes. An increase of the proportion of smaller cars is not predicted to substantially increase overall crash injury. The other injury predictor variables are crash configuration, occupant age, seating position, and restraint usage.
