This paper reports on the test procedure development phase of the agency's Improved Frontal Protection research program. It is anticipated that even after all cars and light trucks have air bags for drivers and and front seat passengers there will remain over 8,000 fatalities a year and over 100,000 moderate to severe injuries. This research program will address these injuries/fatalities through development of crash tests with impact conditions not currenlty addressed by FMVSS No. 208, development of additional or more appropriate instrumentation and injury criteria on the test surrogate, and evaluation of other sizes of test surrogates.
