A test program was conducted in which 12 full-scale automobiles were crashed under controlled conditions to provide detailed performance data on inflatable occupant restraint systems (IORS). Both domestic and imported vehicles were used covering the range of size from sub-compact to standard. Flat faced barrier, pole, and car-to-car crash modes were included. Various arrangements of anthropometric dummies ranging in size from a 3-year old child to a 95th percentile male were used in the vehicles. Both the vehicles and the simulated occupants were highly instrumented and extensive high-speed movies were taken. Crash test procedures were developed and an evaluation of currently available IORS was made. (Author)
