The computer program BARRIER VII is described. The program analyzes the behavior of an automobile or other vehicle striking a deformable protective barrier. The program supersedes the earlier programs BARRIER IV and BARRIER V, and incorporates an energy balance computation and the ability to accommodate barriers with layers at different heights above the ground. A detailed user's guide to the program and a comprehensive example demonstrating idealization and data preparation procedures are included. A related report, 'Barrier VII: Computer Evaluation of Automobile Barrier Systems,' is to be issued by the Federal Highway Administration as Report No. FHWA-RD-73-73. Copies will be available from the National Technical Information Service.
