Abstract

The EEVC Working Group 11 proposed a new frontal impact test procedure, based on a partial overlap impact to a deformable faced barrier, at the 14th ESV Conference in 1994. This test procedure has been subject to a validation programme to evaluate the repeatability, reproducibility and the applicability of the test procedure to a range of passenger car types and sizes. It also considered the effect of an increase in the impact speed from 56km/h to 60km/h. As well as the European validation programme, parallel testing in support of the EEVC work has been performed in Australia, Canada, Japan and the USA. This paper presents the results of the validation programme and the conclusions regarding the current recommendations for the EEVC front offset deformable impact test procedure. (A)
