Vehicle characteristics suitable for an automobile that might be introduced in the mid-1980's are defined under the specific constraint that the curb weight not exceed 3000 lbs. A 'family car' configuration (4 to 5 seating positions plus adequate cargo space) is chosen as the representative of an RSV car model line to be studied. Sizing follows from the selected family model and the weight constraint; and configuration is chosen to obtain high packaging efficiency combined with best potential safety gain. The various components of safety and road performance are reviewed in the light of the economic/accident/usage findings of Volume II. Technical specifications are given for the areas of crash avoidance, crash energy management, primary occupant protection, post-crash safety and pedestrian protection. Corresponding criteria and test methodologies are discussed.
