ACCIDENT INVESTIGATION STUDIES IN CONJUNCTION WITH FMVSS 301 COMPLIANCE TESTING

The Accident Investigation Division (AID) of the National Center for Statistics and Analysis has been interested for several years in obtaining certain information on various impact modes and vehicle types through staged collisions. The specific data needed has been incomplete or unavailable for the majority of staged collisions. Collisions reported herein were performed for "FMVSS 301 Standards Enforcement Testing," and establish data on frontal fixed barrier and rear-end moving barrier impacts. The information collected includes documentation of trajectory, residual crush, and tire marks for each vehicle in each test.
