Summary:

The search for improvements in occupant protection under vehicle impact is hampered by a real lack of reliable biomechanical data. To help fill this void, General Motors has initiated joint research with independent researchers such as the School of Medicine, U. C. L. A. in this case to study localized head and facial trauma and has developed such unique laboratory tools as "Tramasaf," a human-simulating headform, and "MetNet," a pressure-sensitive metal foam. Research applied directly to product design also has culminated in developments such as the Side-Guard Beam for side impact protection
