Abstract topics may encompass virtually any topic related to Automotive Safety, including but not limited to: biomechanical research, injury mechanisms in real crashes, child injury, costs of traffic injury, aging and driving, crash avoidance, road and highway design, occupant restraint design, and vehicle design and crashworthiness. Abstracts are anonymously peer reviewed by the AAAM Scientific Program Committee for quality research, scientific content and logical presentation.
