The program focused on evaluating the extent of occupant protection offered by a conventional, full-size automobile when involved in various types of intervehicular lateral collisions, and assessing the feasibility of improving such protection by the incorporation of structural, glazing and interior modifications (or combinations thereof). A total of seven baseline and six modified vehicle crash tests were performed, as well as numerous developmental tests of various energy-absorbing glazing and padding constructions. The report contains an overview of the developmental testing effort and pertinent results; conclusions and recommendations based on these results are also presented.
