TY - JOUR PY - 1977// TI - Collision severity measured by delta-V JO - Proceedings: American Association for Automotive Medicine Annual Conference A1 - Marquardt, JF SP - 379 EP - 390 VL - 21 IS - N2 - The use of delta-V as a measure of collision severity has become more common in recent years. This paper reviews the fundamentals involved in defining this measure and illustrates some applications to typical collision circumstances - particularly car-to-car collisions. The relationship to vehicle damage measurements is discussed. Possible misapplications in certain circumstances are pointed out.
