The CRASH computer model was developed to provide estimates of the impact velocities and/or velocity changes of highway accidents. One of the algorithms computes velocity changes based on the damage measurements of involved vehicles. The magnitude of the damage to the vehicles is converted to velocity by way of tabular correlations stored within the program. This paper presents the development and implementation of a 'new' set of tabular data based, on more current test data. Additionally, a presentation is discussed for oblique angle impacts. Conclusions are presented regarding the validity and improvement of the algorithm delta-V's as compared with delta-V's obtained from the existing CRASH II program. (The present version is CRASH III). Possible explanations for the results/differences are discussed.
