Abstract
Crash data from actual vehicle crashes is manipulated to produce new hybrid crash data which contains different acceleration peaks while retaining the overall characteristics of the original crash data. The new crash data is realistic and can be used to test or verify crash management components such as airbag deployment sensors and to demonstrate the robustness of components to different crashes without the expense of running another crash test.
