This report documents the findings of a four month study in which a 'Crash Survivability Envelope' was derived for three basic vehicle sizes. The computer programs used in this study are enhanced versions of two programs previously written by Fitzpatrick Engineering for NHTSA. The programs are DRACR for the driver and PAC for the right front passenger. The enhancements made to the programs were primarily the addition of a three-point belt restraint system to each program. Survivability limits for various occupant sizes, crash modes, and vehicle sizes are presented for both the driver and front seat passenger when restrained by a seat belt and air bag and by an air bag only.
