N2  - This paper discusses the problems associated with traditional impact severity measures for side impacts. Discriminant analysis is described and used to determine the important variables relating to injuries. Variables such AS Equivalent test speed (ets) and intrusion have high serious injury classification rates despite not being optimum in engineering terms. The resulting discriminant functions are insensitive to the sample of occupants.<p />
