CRASH INJURY REDUCTION AND POST-CRASH FACTORS EVALUATIONS - FORD ESV'S (EXPERIMENTAL SAFETY VEHICLES) - FORTY-MPH, FIFTY-MPH, AND LOW-SPEED BARRIER IMPACTS

The report presents the results of front and rear low-speed bumper tests and the 40- and 50-mph frontal flat-barrier tests conducted on two Ford experimental safety vehicles. The primary objectives of the test series were to evaluate vehicle damage in low-speed impacts and to determine the occupant and structural responses of the Ford experimental safety vehicles when subjected to 40- and 50-mph front barrier impacts. Post-crash factors evaluations were also performed to evaluate rescue and emergency egress.
