Two vehicles - a Chevrolet C-10 pickup truck and a Ford E-150 van - were selected as representative of their vehicle classes. Air cushion restraint systems were designed for each vehicle and were sled tested with anthropometric dummies. The systems were subsequently integrated into the vehicles and barrier tested at an impact speed of 30 mph. The restraint systems were capable of meeting the 30 mph crash protection criteria of FMVSS 208.
