Abstract

From a file of real- world accidents analyzed by the Peugeot SA /Renault accident investigation team, 572 frontal impacts with a change in velocity of more than 35 km /h were extracted. These were described and classified on the basis of a large number of criteria that make it possible to compare the degree of representativeness of an oblique test and of a perpendicular test.
