Purpose: To determine the most frequent sources of injuries from the interior of motor vehicles involved in crashes.Methods: We searched the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration's National Accident Sampling System to determine the most frequent sources of injuries. This database includes sources of injuries resulting from crashes from January 1, 1991 to December 31, 1992.

Abstract Belted bias and radial Course Monitoring Tires were run over the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration tread wear course at San Angelo on a vehicle instrumented to measure lateral and longitudinal accelerations, speed, and number of wheel rotations. The data were recorded as histograms. The distribution of speed, the distributions of lateral and longitudinal acceleration, and the number of acceleration level crossings are given. Acceleration data for segments of the course are also given.

Analysis of vehicle deformation from impacts largely relies upon A and B stiffness coefficients for vehicle structures in order to approximate the velocity change and accelerations produced by an impact. While frontal impact stiffness factors for passenger vehicles, light trucks, vans, and sport utility vehicles are relatively prevalent for modern vehicles, stiffness factors for rear and side structures, as well as heavy vehicles, buses, recreational vehicles, trailers, motorcycles, and even objects, are essentially non-existent. This paper presents the application of the Generalized Deformation and Total Velocity Change Analysis to real-world collision events (G-DaTA?V™ System of Equations) as developed by this author. The focus of this paper addresses the relative precision and accuracy of the G-DaTA?V™ System of Equations for determining the total velocity change for oblique and/or offset vehicle-to-vehicle collisions involving light trucks and sport utility vehicles, which are largely under-represented with modern vehicle A and B stiffness values for side and rear surfaces. The previous paper presented by this author to the Academy addressed the relative accuracy and precision of the G-DaTA?V™ System of Equations as they relate to a first validation using the RICSAC-staged collision database. As a secondary and more comprehensive validation process, the G-DaTA?V™ System of Equations will be applied to real-world collision data obtained through the National Automotive Sampling System (NASS), which provides the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) with a comprehensive compilation of real-world collision events representing a broad-based collection of collision configurations from across the country. This data represents a reusable source of information that was collected using standardized field techniques implemented by NASS-trained field technicians. Through using a “core set of crash data components,” NASS has demonstrated its utility and applicability to a vast array of statistical and analytical studies regarding traffic safety and vehicle collision dynamics.

Celem publikacji jest weryfikacja następującej hipotezy: pojazdy produkowane współcześnie, pomimo zwiększonej masy własnej, a przez to większej energii kinetycznej uwalnianej podczas zderzenia czołowego potrafią ulegać mniejszym odkształceniom nadwozia. Autorzy dokonują tego na podstawie dwunastu raportów testów zderzeniowych przeprowadzonych przez amerykańską organizację NHTSA (ang. National Highway Traffic Safety Administration). Sześć spośród nich zostało sporządzonych dla samochodów wyprodukowanych w ostatniej dekadzie XX wieku, reszta natomiast dla pojazdów wyprodukowanych w latach 2011-2015. Na ich podstawie możliwe było stworzenie porównania głębokości odkształcenia dla tych pojazdów oraz dokonanie obliczeń uwzględniających takie parametry jak: uwolniona energia kinetyczna, procentowa zmiana w długości całkowitej pojazdów oraz średnia głębokość deformacji. Słowa kluczowe: deformacja pojazdu, zderzenie czołowe, strefa kontrolowanego zgniotu, bezpieczeństwo pojazdów

Vocal Minority

As regular airline travelers will readily attest, infants and small children constitute a small but vocal minority of the passengers on commercial flights. Both of the authors have children less than 4 years of age and child restraint safety seats meeting the standards of the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration are routinely used for automobile travel. Use of safety seats has been routinely recommended to families receiving medical care from us. On several occasions, we have attempted to bring these same safety seats on board commercial aircraft for use by our children in seats for which we paid the fare.
