Description:

The overall motivation for this study is to improve the safety of automobile travel through a better understanding of the predominant characteristics which lead to an accident and influence injury severity. Quantification of conditions of accidents and vehicle and occupant behavior have currently led to many improvements in the design of vehicles and roadways, as well as aiding our legal system in administrating justice. Simulation of vehicle collisions has played an important role in this progress. Yet, substantial potential for further improvement exists. The focus of this report pertains to the approach being taken in the development of new dynamic computer simulation techniques by a research team at The University of Texas at Austin. The work presented herein represents only the beginning of a very extensive program of research. The progress to date has been quite good and represents a significant step in accomplishing our goals.
