Hervé Desfontaines, B Favre, Ph. Ravoux

Abstract

Safety research at Renault V.I. is described. This includes rapid response accident studies, the compilation of a 20-year accident data bank, the development of a high safety demonstration tractor-trailer vehicle, and analysis of the benefits of the new safety technologies on this vehicle. An economic study is used to prioritise which safety technologies to introduce into the market. For the covering abstract see ITRD E111577.
