Abstract:

This report documents the planning study intended to provide the basis from which a comprehensive study of low speed damage systems may be conducted. This planning study and the comprehensive study are in response to Title I of the Motor Vehicle Information and Cost Savings Act.

The basic design features of present bumper systems and alternative bumper systems are discussed. Methodologies for assessing the cost and benefits associated with these bumper systems are addressed. Consideration is given to a technique for determining an optimal impact test speed. Recommendations are provide for the comprehensive study. Requirements for further assessment of cost/benefit data and methodology deficiencies are delineated in draft work statements for a model of cost-price relationships, a survey of repaired and unrepaired damage, and a test program to replicate the real-world test environments.
