• Abstract:
  The information contained herein was developed on Research Project 2-5-69-140 entitled "Evaluation of the Roadside Environment by Dynamic Analysis of the Interaction Between the Vehicle, Passenger, and Roadway" which is a cooperative research study sponsored jointly by the Texas Highway Department and the U. S. Department of Transportation, Federal Highway Administration. Basically, the objectives of the study are to apply mathematical simulation techniques in determining the dynamic behavior of automobiles and their occupants when in collision with various roadside objects or when traversing curves in the road, shoulders, or other situations. It is a continuing study, having been initiated in September 1968.
