EVALUATING CRASHWORTHINESS WITH AIS AND CDC

This paper discusses the use of Linear and Nonlinear Curve Fitting Programs for the development of injury-prediction equations for automobile side and rear collisions. The data used are from the C.P.I.R. files at H.S.R.I. Separate equations developed for unrestrained, lap belt restrained and three-point harness restrained front seat occupants are discussed and compared. /HSRI/
