| On the basis of the findings
of WG 3 and WG 4, this Working Group identified the sort of test procedures
which could be expected to produce an improved level of occupant protection,
for both front and side impacts.
The final reports of WGs 1 to 5 allowed the
EEVC to define, on the basis of European experience and technical knowledge,
a sufficiently common view to provide an assessment of the future needs
of car safety in Europe. Following this basic assessment, in the
mid-1970s the EEVC turned its attention primarily to the fields of car
occupant protection in side impact, and to pedestrian protection by
improved design of the fronts of cars. |
