Drs. R. L. Ivey and R. B. Goss of the Texas Transportation Institute here developed a method for pre dicting the probability of injury in six autos including three compacts and three large autos. It employs empirical and statistical evidence. The report states that highway planners have problems if they are to continue reducing the number of auto deaths and injuries if the number of small cars keep increas ing. “THE ANALYSIS applied only to longitudinal barriers like bridge rails, median barriers and guar drails,” Ivey said. “However, it is considered valid in other situations, such as collisions with other vehi cles and collisions with crash cush ions. It should be applicable to any situation where the acceleration on the passenger compartment can be predicted. “Planners must act on the basis of the data we have now,” he said. “We cannot wait for the statistical and verification of modifying factors if the immediate needs of the plan ning process are to be met. “The relatively small passenger space of the small vehicle shortens the distance between passengers and surfaces which can cause in juries,” Ivey pointed out. “From this perspective we would assume that small vehicles offer less favora ble passenger environments. Addi tionally, we would expect smaller vehicles to be less safe from the standpoint of objects piercing the cockpit because of the more fragile nature of their structure. ” “EXTENSIVE TESTING of the vehicle has shown that some sub compacts with their higher center of gravity are less stable and more apt to roll in emergency conditions than BONELESS CHUCK U.S.D.A CHOICE BEEF LB.
