TY - JOUR PY - 1956// TI - Automotive collision impact phenomena JO - Highway Research Board bulletin A1 - Haynes, A. L. A1 - Fredericks, R. H. A1 - Ruby, W. J. SP - 1 EP - 10 VL - 142 IS - N2 - A discussion of what happens to occupants of an automobile during a collision is presented on the basis of findings from a series of controlled car crashes. In order to cover a broader range as well as provide maximum severity of load to components undergoing test, cars were impacted into a barrier in addition to the car-to-car crashes. Items such as deceleration of passenger compartment, seat belt loads, occupant decelerations, etc., are reported graphically as they vary with impact velocity.
