Relationship between occupant compartment intrusion and injury by crash counterpart relevant to MASH requirements
Roadside hardware crashes are distinct from fixed-object and vehicle-to-vehicle crashes with regard to occupant compartment intrusion and injury outcomes. The MASH intrusion requirements are a significant predictor of injury outcome. These results can be used to enhance and improve the requirements of MASH and may lead to additional and more robust occupant injury metrics.
