Research

Collision Safety Engineering Publications

Collision Safety Engineering has a long tradition of publishing research in areas of accident recontruction procedures and technologies, occupant kinematics analysis, vehicle crashworthiness design and occupant injuries. Many of these papers have been selected by the Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE) for their annual “SAE Transactions” references volumes and for numerous other compilations of research. CSE authors were presented with the Ralph Isbrandt award for the best paper on automotive safety in 1984 and again in 2007.
