Abstract

Velocity Scaling as a method of predicting the pulse shape for frontal barrier crashes at different velocities is reviewed. Frontal barrier crashes are found to have a nearly constant duration regardless of the velocity of impact. Non- barrier pulses however frequently have much longer durations. A methodology, called Crash Scaling is introduced to predict non- barrier pulses from barrier pulses.
