• Abstract:
  A STUDY HAS BEEN MADE OF METHODS FOR MEASURING OCCUPANT MOTION WITHIN A VEHICLE DURING CRASH OR IMPACT CONDITIONS. THE PURPOSE OF THE MEASUREMENTS IS TO EVALUATE RESTRAINT SYSTEMS, USING ANTHROPOMETRIC DUMMY, ANIMAL, OR HUMAN OCCUPANTS. A LIST OF GENERAL SPECIFICATIONS FOR OCCUPANT MOTION SENSORS WAS DRAWN UP. THIS WAS USED TO ESTABLISH CRITERIA FOR EVALUATION OF PROPOSED SYSTEMS. FROM A STUDY OF VARIOUS POSSIBLE SYSTEMS, FIVE WERE SELECTED FOR FURTHER DEVELOPMENT. THESE SYSTEMS WERE BUILT AND PREPARED FOR FIELD TESTING. /AUTHOR/
