RAPID RESPONSE SYSTEM TO GENERATE HIGHWAY CRASH DATA

The seatbelt-ignition interlock system can rapidly provide specified highway crash data responsive to the needs of the NHTSA. This system was field tested. Data were collected in Pennsylvania during four separate periods between November 1973 and January 1975. A total of 872 cases of accident-involved 1974 model passenger cars were studied. Another 876 cases of accident-involved 1973 models were also analyzed for comparison purposes.
