Some international data on traffic accident configurations and their associated injuries

Barnwell, G. M.; Cromack, J. R.; Muller, A. F.; Kuiperbak, J. G.

The Committee on the Challenges of Modern Society, NATO. initiated a trial program to test the feasibility and value of obtaining standardized vehicle crash damage and injury information on an international basis. The goals of this program were to obtain better data on the degree of protection which a vehicle provides to its occupants in crashes, so that these data could aid automotive designers in producing safer vehicles and assist government engineers in assessing safety standard effectiveness.
