The Stapp Car Crash Journal is published by The John Paul Stapp Association and is available through the Society of Automotive Engineers.
The scope of material contained in the Stapp Car Crash Journal includes new data on the biomechanics of injury and human tolerance, new methods and tools to study the biomechanics of injury, new developments in occupant protection systems, and new concepts on the biomechanics of injury based on experimental and analytical studies. Technical papers are peer reviewed by scientists in the field of injury biomechanics and vehicular safety engineering, with members of the Stapp Advisory Committee serving as associate editors to identify appropriate peer reviewers.

- Pedestrian Injury Case Reconstruction Through Data Fusion and Machine LearningAuthors: Xiaoyang Song, Wenbo Sun, Jingwen Hu, Carol Flannagan, Jared Karlow, Patrick Bowman, University of Michigan; Iskander Farooq, Anil Kalra, Ford Motor Company Abstract The proportion of pedestrian injuries in motor-vehicle-crash-induced injuries in the U.S. has been increasing in recent years. Although extensive police-reported data on pedestrian injuries is available,…
- Human Detection Capability of Vehicle Front Sonar Sensors in Light and Small Passenger Cars and MinivanAuthors: Yasuhiro Matsui, National Traffic Safety and Environment Laboratory, Japan; Shoko Oikawa, Tokyo Metropolitan University, Japan Abstract Sonar sensor systems have been developed to prevent collisions between vehicles and surrounding objects by employing ultrasonic sensors mounted at the front of the vehicle. These systems warn drivers when nearby obstacles are…
