N2  - This paper investigates the results of a statistical analysis of side impacts against rigid obstacles. Side impact with another vehicle is also considered. The analysis was based on data extracted from the bidisciplinary accident database maintained by INRETSLCB. The study was restricted to accidents since 1980 for reasons of uniformity of coding and deformation measurement accuracy. Multivariate data analysis was carried out on the database using SPADN. The aim of the analysis was to examine the severity of occupant injuries, the accident conditions and vehicle deformations. The primary aim of the study was to attempt, and to identify possible means of improving occupant protection in side impact.<p />
