Bibliography on Motor Vehicle & Traffic Safety

Washington: U.S. Dept. of Commerce, 1971. — 220 p.This Bibliography represents the literature acquired since the establishment of OVSR in the spring of 1967. A large number of the reports were contributed by national and international organizations active in motor vehicle safety, research, and standardization, who generously responded to our initial request for information and reports in our three areas of interest. We have endeavored to make the Bibliography as useful as possible by providing 81 subject breakdowns within the 6 major categories of Brakes, Car Occupant Protection, Human Factors, Tires and Wheels, Traffic and Transportation, and Vehicles - General. It should be noted that a certain amount of overlap occurs between categories. In particular, the searcher will find OVSR areas of interest, Tires, Occupant Restraints, and Brakes, handled separately and not extensively cross-referenced between other categories such as Safe Vehicle Design and Performance, Accident Investigation, Research, and Analysis, etc. This was done in order to avoid excessive cross referencing which would have made the Bibliography more bulky and cumbersome than was considered necessary.
