Abstract

A low cost crash recorder for frontal impacts, based on a mass spring system has been developed and mounted in a population of 30.000 cars. In this paper, the experience of the crash recorder is shown in terms of crashes and outcome in real life. The pulses of several crashes are presented as well as the change of velocity. Some typical crashes where a traditional reconstruction would have led to poor estimates are also presented.
