Abstract

A methodology is provided for assessing alternative test device concepts by means of simulation and applies it to the side impact test situation. This is done by (1) simulation of field accident experience of vehicles involved in side impacts, and (2) the simulation of test devices and procedures.Simulated test results can then be compared with simulated field accident data. This study shows some interim results for several impact test device design variations.
