Epidemiologic Investigation of Child Restraint Installation Position and Serious Injury among Children in Motor Vehicle Crashes

Principal Investigator: Rachel Myers, PhD

The goal of this study is to create a unique source of epidemiologic crash data that enables novel description of use and installation patterns of child restraints among crash-involved children and— following linkage with hospital discharge and death certificate data—novel description of child occupant injury outcomes based on restraint use and installation (rear- vs. forward-facing).

Quantifying CRS Fit in the Vehicle Seat Environment – Focusing on Incompatibilities

Principal Investigator: Amanda Agnew, PhD


Wide varieties of child restraint systems (CRS) and vehicle interior designs suggest that not every CRS can fit seamlessly into every vehicle. Previous work has identified specific areas of incompatibility between a large portion of CRS and vehicles available on the US market. The long-term objective of this study was to improve fitment between CRS and vehicle models by establishing the frequency, severity, and consequences of various incompatibilities.

Anthropometry Update: Is the 6-year old ATD Representative of Age-matched Children?

Principal Investigator: Amanda Agnew, PhD


This study investigates whether the quality of anthropometric data, as it pertains vehicle safety, will improve when direct methods are used to collect it, and whether current ATDs can be improved with CRS-specific anthropometric data bases. The objective of this project is to determine whether currently-accepted anthropometric data, upon which pediatric ATDs are designed, are an accurate representation of children ages 4-7 years sitting in booster seats…

Quantifying CRS Fit in the Vehicle Seat Environment: Dimensional Comparison Approach

Principal Investigator: Amanda Agnew, PhD


The research goals of this study are to quantitatively define good fit of a child restraint system to a vehicle, to develop a correlation matrix to characterize good fit between various child restraint systems and vehicle seats; and to quantify any changes to child restraint system characteristics that influence good fit over time.

Development and Validation of a Biofidelic Pediatric ATD Lower Extremity

Principal Investigator: Amanda Agnew, PhD


The goal of this study is to design and validate a prototype 6-year-old ATD lower extremity.
