โœฆ Synopsis

The need for a low cost vehicle crash recorder that would provide a measure of crash severity for a large number of vehicle crashes has long been recognized. A simple viscous damped mechanical crash recorder has been developed which measures vehicle velocity change, AV. as the recorded parameter. Prototypes have been evaluated in a laboratory test program which subjected the recorders to a series of tests under various crash speeds and durations that might be expected in the real world. The results of this evaluation indicate that the prototype, low cost crash recorders have great potential for large scale apphcation in motor vehicles.

The incidence and degree to which patients injured by motor vehicle crashes (MVCs) and penetrating wounds remain in the hospital beyond the diagnostic related group (DRG) mean length of stay (LOS) are compared. During a 12-month period, records for consecutive patients admitted to eight hospitals (i
