In response to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) Authorization Act of 1991 and ongoing research into rollover and ejection mitigation, NHTSA initiated a research program concerning occupant protection in motor vehicle rollover crashes. NHTSA is addressing this occupant protection issue from two perspectives-preventing a rollover from occurring and protecting vehicle occupants during a rollover, including reducing the likelihood of ejections. Almost 60 percent of rollover fatalities occur in the 10 percent of rollovers involving either complete or partial ejection of vehicle occupants. Occupant ejections occur either through structural failures, such as door openings, or through window openings. NHTSA is evaluating the potential of improved door latches, side head air bags, and advanced glazing systems (an automotive industry term for transparent openings) to reduce occupant ejection. This report evaluates the progress of advanced glazing research since NHTSA issued its November 1995 report on occupant protection research to mitigate ejection through window openings.
