Revised version of the additional slides concerning the seat performance criteria for rear-impact testing presented during the session.

Presentation of summary and conclusions from a literature review on the biomechanics of minor neck injuries resulting from rear-impact accidents.

Extensive (90 slide) presentation on the evaluation of ATD results (BioRID II, RID3D, Hybrid III) compared with results from testing conducted on cadavers towards the development of injury criteria under GTR 7.

This study compares crash test dummy parameter values from sled tests with real-life accident data in order to evaluate the applicability of crash test methods to assess the risk of whiplash injury in rear-end impacts.
