A report of a visit to the 'Eleventh International Conference on Experimental Safety Vehicles, Washington, 12-15 May 1987' is given in this publication. Some of the technical papers presented at the conference are described and commented upon: (the Opening Address, the Status Reports and the Panel Discussions). The following subjects are emphasized: Occupant protection for side impact; Accident investigation and data analysis; Biomechanics and dummy development; Crash avoidance; Occupant protection for frontal impact; Heavy duty vehicle safety; Pedestrian protection; Motorcycle safety; Progress in the harmonization of safety performance requirements. Traffic safety should be improved by the next meeting, when more attention will be paid to subjects other than cars.
