COST ESTIMATES OF AUTOMATIC CRASH PROTECTION IN 1987 MODEL YEAR PASSENGER CARS-VOLUME 3

The report documents the results of an analytical study to estimate costs of Automatic Crash Protection Systems (ACP) in 1987 passenger cars. Nine individual ACPs were analyzed. They included 2 and 3-point belt systems, air bags, and motorized and non-motorized belt systems. The hardware for each analyzed ACP was procured. Each system was subjected to a careful and detailed tear down analysis. Next, each part, subassembly and assembly were carefully analyzed to estimate costs of individual ACPs. The results of the analytical study are presented in the report. The report includes description of systems, list of subsystems and computer printouts for cost and related documentary photographs.
