This report documents the results of an analytical study to estimate costs of Manual & Automatic Crash Protection Systems (CPSs) in passenger cars. Fourteen individual CPSs were analyzed. They included seven manual and seven automatic systems. The CPS costs are estimated in 1992 dollars. The hardware for each CPS was procured. Each CPS was subjected to a careful and detailed teardown analysis. Next, each part subassembly and assembly were carefully analyzed to estimate costs of individual systems. The results of the analytical study are presented in this report. The report includes descriptions of systems, lists of subsystems and computer printouts for cost, and related documentary photographs.
