The paper presents results from a series of tests that address safety related issues concerning vehicle glazing. These issues include occupant containment, head impact injury, neck injuries, fracture modes, and laceration. Component level and full vehicle crash tests of standard and polycarbonate nonwindshield glazing were conducted.
