New Jersey Medical School, CIREN Program Report, 2002, Oct. 2003 (DOT HS 809 564)
These data concerning the differing causes, sites and severities of AI, and the incidences of multiple AI lesions, as well as the different patterns of associated injuries found in the hospital survivors, compared to the in-hospital and scene deaths, suggests that a different magnitude of forces may have played a part in the creation of this lesion in these groups. To attempt to examine this question the calculated instantaneous deceleration on impact (delta V1) of the subject vehicle (V1) was evaluated with respect to the estimated deceleration energy (IE) imparted to V1 on impact, as computed from the WINSMASH program based on the direction of the MVC, the relative masses of the struck and striking vehicles and the magnitude of the V1 vehicle deformity and its stiffness characteristics. The data from all the ME scene deaths (including AI secondary to car crashes with other cars, sport utility vehicles, trucks, or fixed objects) was used to develop a linear regression which was then ...
