The main objectives of the project were to quantify the problems of restraining miscellaneous loads in light vans and passenger car derivates with a view to developing specifications for strong anchorage points, bulkheads, racking and restraint systems. In the first phase of the work, the range of items carried by the various sizes of vans was established and the type of incident, whether an emergency braking manoeuvre or vehicle collision for example, was defined against which the restraint system would be required to provide protection. The specified accidents were simulated using some barrier crash tests and many dynamic sled tests. In a second phase the specifications for anchorage points, bulkheads and storage bin systems were drawn up. The final stage of the project involved preparation of the detailed specifications for the anchorage points, bulkheads, racking systems and restraints which would form part of the Recommended Practice.
