Abstract

The paper reports on the foundational research conducted by Transport Canada in support of a harmonized pole impact test procedure. Field data fromAsia-Pacific, Europe and North America were analyzed to identify the typeof motor vehicle occupant at greatest risk of serious injury in narrow object crashes and to describe the pattern of injuries most frequently associated with these types of collisions. Laboratory crash testing was subsequently carried out to evaluate the responses of the ES- 2re and WorldSID dummies. Oblique pole tests were conducted with five paired tests of vehicles ranging in size from small passenger cars to mid-size SUV's at impact velocities of 32 km/h. For the covering abstract see ITRD E141569.
