abstract="This paper presents a crash severity indicator which can be mounted in cars. The indicator is a low cost mechanical device that can measure the deceleration in an accident, and, under some conditions, the velocity change (delta-v) as well. The theoretical background is described as well as the results of some full-scale barrier tests with severity indicators mounted into the test cars. It is concluded that the severity indicator can give a fairly high precision and together with other types of data collected will give valuable information for a low cost. The indicator is already mounted into rearward-facing child restraints.<p />",
