Scope
This SAE Information Report discusses the significant factors which measure the effectiveness of the total occupant restraint system in commonly encountered collision configurations. The total system includes the components which affect occupant injury by influencing the manner in which the collision energy management is accomplished. In addition to the elements that contribute to impact attenuation, consideration must be given to factors that encourage maximum use, such as comfort, reliability, appearance, and convenience. Hence, system evaluation necessarily involves consideration of the complete vehicle.
Rationale
This document is not only severely outdated in many areas, but it is also contradictory to what is practiced today with respect to placement of children only in the rear seat. If we simply reaffirm - then we are stating the committee still feels this document is valid. Because of the obsolescence - it is a waste of time to update it. Therefore - the best solution is to stabilize it.

Occupant Protection and Biomechanics Steering Committee
This steering committee is an umbrella for the restraint committees, safety test instrumentation, human biomechanics and simulations, impact and rollover test procedures, and dummy testing committees.

* Redlines comparisons are available for those standards
listed in the Revision History that contain a radio button. A
redline comparison of the current version against a revision is
accomplished by selecting the radio button next to the standard and
then selecting 'compare'. At this time, Redline versions only exist
for some AMS standards. SAE will continue to add redline versioning
with ongoing updates to SAE MOBILUS.
