Abstract

This paper discusses the side impact crashes that occur in Australia, and the reasons for the differences between crashes in Australia, USA and Europe. It provides some information about the Australian road system and the Australian vehicle fleet which lead to these differences. It proposes an approach to the development of occupant protection in side impact crashes to achieve the maximum benefit for the Australian community.
