Updated Evaluation of Size and Mass Effects in Front-to-Front Crashes Involving Light Vehicles

Standard Details

Studies used 1981–2006 FARS and state crash data to examine the relative importance of vehicular, driver, and environmental factors in influencing odds of driver fatality in two-vehicle (car-to-car, light truck-to-car, and light truck-to-light truck) frontal crashes for 1981–2003 model-year vehicles. It was found that all vehicle factors, including vehicle frontal stiffness, have a second order effect compared to vehicle weight. Most of the driver factors included were found to be highly significant. Assumptions and methodology used by other vehicle size/weight safety studies were also evaluated. Results show trends similar to those of other key studies, with one notable exception.
