Abstract
⺠We performed three low speed, vehicle-to-vehicle crash tests of incrementing magnitude. ⺠We measured the effects on the occupants in terms of acceleration and compared the results to previous research. ⺠We measured the effects of an everyday activity in terms of acceleration and compared the results of low speed crash tests with the everyday activity. ⺠We observed an increase in vehicle damage with increased target vehicle speed change, with respect to structure. ⺠We found a strong positive correlation between target vehicle speed change and occupant movement.
