INVESTIGATION OF MOTOR VEHICLE PERFORMANCE STANDARDS FOR CRASHWORTHINESS OF VEHICLE STRUCTURE

THE PROGRAM IS A STUDY TO DEVELOP AND DOCUMENT A DETAILED TEXT ON ALL ASPECTS OF STRUCTURAL DESIGN IN MOTOR VEHICLES RELATED TO PROTECTING OCCUPANTS OF VEHICLES FROM SERIOUS INJURIES IN CRASHES. THIS KNOWLEDGE WILL PROVIDE A BASIS FOR SAFETY STANDARDS FOR THE PERFORMANCE OF MOTOR VEHICLE STRUCTURES AND WILL ASSIST WITH CERTIFICATION PROCEDURES. THE PROGRAM DISCUSSION IS DIVIDED INTO PLANS FOR: STATE-OF-THE-ART; ESTABLISHING PERFORMANCE CRITERIA; ESTABLISHING QUALIFICATION PROCEDURES; ESTABLISHING PERFORMANCE STANDARDS; DEVELOPMENT OF ANALYTICAL TOOLS AND TECHNIQUES; UPDATING AND EXPANDING DATA BASE; AND CONSULTATION LIAISON DURING ADVANCED NOTICE PERIOD OF PROPOSED RULE MAKING. /AUTHOR/
