This paper presents an evaluation method of the passive safety offered by a vehicle in a crash with another vehicle, illustrated using the data contained in the iGLAD database. The method is based on the use of the Crash Momentum Index (CMI) as an indicator of impact severity, by which vehicles and accidents occurred with different impact configurations are compared, taking into account only kinematic parameters, without considering variables related to the occupants (gender, age, position occupied in the vehicle, etc.).

Abstract
This paper presents an evaluation method of the passive safety offered by a vehicle in a crash with another vehicle, illustrated using the data contained in the iGLAD database. The method is based on the use of the Crash Momentum Index (CMI) as an indicator of impact severity, by which vehicles and accidents occurred with different impact configurations are compared, taking into account only kinematic parameters, without considering variables related to the occupants (gender, age, position occupied in the vehicle, etc.).I documenti in FLORE sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
