Abstract

This study investigated the effect that altering the striking vehicle front end characteristics has on occupant safety in a side impact. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration's moving deformable barrier (MDB) was used to conduct 12 crash tests. Three different types of honeycomb barrier faces were used, each representing a front end characteristic change. The alterations were believed to represent achievable production vehicle changes. The occupant responses and relative benefits from each of these concepts are shown and discussed.
