N2  - Up to now, investigations concerning the mechanics of the side collision have been performed almost without exception only on standard factory model vehicles. Theoretical knowledge has been gained, and some structural conclusions have been drawn. These findings, however, have been experimentally investigated only in isolated cases. Within the framework of UNI-CAR research project considerable improvements in passive safety features of the automobile have been proposed. Special structural measures were implemented on the UNI-CAR, particularly to afford increased safety in the case of side collisions. These measures have been investigated both singly and in their mutual interactions on an experimental basis. These measures are presented and their effects are elaborated. (TRRL)<p />
