Abstract

Vehicle aggressiveness can not be tested against a flat stationary barrier. There are three types of aggressiveness: architectural aggressiveness, such as a very stiff bumper or fender; mass aggressiveness and structural aggressiveness, where the overall structure of the vehicle is much stiffer than that of the struck car. A moving non-rigid crash barrier was designed to assess vehicle aggressiveness and crash survivability.
