Volume 2 contains summaries of the air cushion restraint system, Control Group and Schoolbus accident investigations that were conducted from January 29, 1974 to December 31, 1975 in the study area. These investigations were secondary to those of the Restraint Systems Effectiveness Program (Vols. 1 and 3). The original goals were to: (1) Estimate the injury reducing effects of the passive system. (2) Determine the operational characteristics of the passive system. (3) Evaluate public/owner acceptance of the passive system. (4) Collect in-depth data on restraint system utilization and performance from a control group of 1973-1976 model year vehicles equipped with active restraints. (5) Study selected schoolbus accidents in which one or more occupant fatalities occurred.
