Nhtsa Side Impact Research : Motivation for Upgraded Test
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper presents the results of a study on crash conditions and occupant characteristics in side impacts to support the development of advanced side impact test procedures. The US vehicle fleet has been changing in recent years with a growing population of light trucks and vans, and the rapid introduction of side impact inflatable restraints for both thoracic and head protection. The study utilizes the US NASS/CDS, and FARS and GES (1990-2001) to characterize the current and projected US side crash environment in order to identify opportunities to improve side impact protection for the modern US fleet.

NHTSA ’ s Vehicle Compatibility Research Program
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) is conducting a research program to investigate the crash compatibility of passenger cars, light trucks and vans (LTV’s) in vehicle-to-vehicle collisions. NHTSA has conducted a series of eight full-scale vehicle-to-vehicle crash tests to evaluate vehicle compatibility issues. Tests were conducted using four bullet vehicles representing ...
متن کاملMowry 1 REDUCING RIB DEFLECTION IN THE IIHS TEST BY PRELOADING THE PELVIS INDEPENDENT OF INTRUSION
A cooperative research project with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) was conducted to evaluate the capability of a Tubular Thoracic Cushion (TTC) airbag concept to significantly reduce rib deflections for the SID-IIs dummy in the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety’s (IIHS) side-impact barrier test. The concept of the TTC airbag was to efficiently distribute a major...
متن کاملSide Impact Response Corridors for the Rigid Flat-Wall and Offset-Wall Side Impact Tests of NHTSA Using the ISO Method of Corridor Development.
The purpose of this paper is to compare the biofidelity rating schemes of ISO/TR9790 and the NHTSA Bio Rank System. This paper describes the development of new impact response corridors being proposed for ISO/TR9790 from the results of a recent series of side-impact sled tests. The response data were analyzed by methods consistent with ISO/TR9790, including normalization by impulse-momentum ana...
متن کاملStudy of Vehicle Dynamics and Occupant Response in Side Impact Crash Tests
Side impact crash is a leading cause of fatalities on the roadways of the industrialized world. In the mid 1990's NHTSA implemented a new car assessment program testing the lateral crashworthiness of vehicles entering the market with a moving deformable barrier. Previous work has been done in an attempt to distill these tests into finite element simulations using specific vehicle test results; ...
متن کاملA Consideration on the Offset Frontal Impact Modeling Using Spring-Mass Model
To construct the lumped spring-mass model considering the occupants for the offset frontal crash, the SISAME software and the NHTSA test data were used. The data on 56 kph 40% offset frontal vehicle to deformable barrier crash test of a MY2007 Mazda 6 4-door sedan were obtained from NHTSA test database. The overall behaviors of B-pillar and engine of simulation models agreed very well with the ...
