Abstract

Results of impact tests indicate that the Honda 1500 pound ESV does not meet impact speed requirements established in the ESV specifications. In order to improve crash performance the most reasonable solution would be the extension of the frontal body length. However, since Honda wishes to keep its ESV small, occupant protection can be improved by reinforcing the passenger compartment, making maximum use of crush distance, and including energy absorbing restraint systems.
