The standards of roadworthiness which have been achieved in the design and construction of a vehicle are largely the result of the motor vehicle industry's perception of the relevant market forces. Over the past 20 years increasing attention has been paid t o the crashworthiness of the vehicle. The term "crashworthiness" refers to the performance of a vehicle when involved in a crash; in particular, how well the vehicle protects its occupants from injury. | | Report Number | QBG 1756 | | Publisher | Institution of Engineers Australia | | Sponsor | Institution of Engineers Australia | | Journal Title | IEA (Queensland division) | | Journal Volume (Issue) | 25(16) | | Page Range | 17-21 | | Page Count | 5 |
