Abstract:

The main characteristics of small overlap crash were summarized with the traffic accident data
collected from the statistics in Jiading District of Shanghai. 45 vehicles in small overlap crashes and 57 injured
occupants in front-row seats were analyzed based on traffic environments, vehicle damages, occupant injuries
and motion responses. The results show that 87% of vehicle intrusions does not obviously come into driving
space with 88% of occupants lightly injured or not injured, and with tire-punctures and vehicle-rotations obviously
affecting occupant injuries after collisions. Therefore, these results provide support to the test specifications and
the evaluation criteria for small overlap crash in China.

Key words: automotive safety, small overlap crash, traffic accident, vehicle damage, occupant injury, motion response
