Abstract:Design changes in 1974-1977 model year passenger cars have been identified and a preliminary evaluation has been made of the safety effects of design changes inspired by fuel economy requirements. The following appendices are enclosed: Ranking of changes in curb weight 1974 to 1977 model year passenger cars; Unranked tabulation of scaled fractional changes in all parameters 1974 to 1977 model year passenger cars; Ranked differences of subject models from models of similar roominess; Models most similar to given models based on average scaled fractional difference over nine design parameters; Make and model coding tables FARS and VW engineering model data base; Excerpts from April 1978 progress report; Output from run 1 and 1 of the Kraesp model; and Comparison of alternative input data to the Kraesp model.
