Technical Papers

Results from the research undertaken by GBB (UK) Ltd. are published in a variety of legal and medical journals from time to time.
It is our intention to publish copies of those articles together with peer-reviewed and non peer-reviewed technical papers in this section, in a downloadable format.


Numerous studies have taken place throughout the world, particularly in the United States of America, relating to ‘low speed’ collisions and in particular to the effects upon occupants.

A number of studies suggest a threshold of 5 mph. In other words the resultant change in velocity for a struck vehicle in a rear-end collision.

In March 2005 a number of ‘roll into’ tests were undertaken, and in June 2005 further full scale testing was completed.

The June 2005 testing was completed using different vehicles in a variety of tests. Accelerometers were placed both in vehicles and their occupants.

This technical paper relates to the findings of Crash Test 2 which was part of the June 2005 programme.
