 Child Safety Research Reports AT ASRI

  Under the direction of Prof. Kennerly  Digges, The George Washington University sponsored cooperative Child Safety Research at several institution that had received worldwide recognition for their research in the area.  The research was focused on developing injury prevention requirements for children involved in side impacts and on improving the accuracy of  child crash dummies.
