Abstract

This paper presents an extensive research program undertaken to develop improved side impact test methods. The devel- lopment of a component side impact test device along with an associated test procedure are reviewed.The results of accident data analysis techniques to define anatomical areas most likely to be injured during side impact and definition of test device response corridors based on human surrogate testing are discussed. A test program to evaluate and compare component and full- vehicle test results is presented.
