Abstract

A safety design feature must be evaluated in several crash modes and taking into account the distribution of essential parameters. This report presents a method whereby the safety potential of a safety design feature in a certain accident configuration can be predicted before the system is exposed to real traffic conditions. This is done by combining data from crash tests or mathematical simulations with traffic accident data and by paying particular attention to the crash severity and occupant size parameters.
