| PSI | Session 2 | 3-4 Mar 2011 |
Mr Terrell presented an Australian side impact field data research study proposal for comments / feedback from members of the informal group (PSI-02-19). Mrs Meyerson recommended that the study should include an analysis of detailed case studies as these can provide a more accurate understanding of injuries than more broad statistical databases. Mrs Meyerson then suggested that NASS case studies could be considered. Ms Tylko suggested that the study should focus on crashes where there was side impact damage to the occupant compartment. Mr Francis suggested that the effects of occupant age should be included in the study. Mr Hogan advised that Australia would also complete a further round of pole side impact crash tests in collaboration with Transport Canada prior to the next meeting of the informal group and invited any suggestions from the informal group regarding the research focus of these tests. |
