Samenvatting
The evaluation of the safety performance of passenger vehicles is in most test procedures restricted to the inherent safety. But in real- world accidents, the vehicle influences both its own passengers and the passengers of the colliding vehicle or the cyclists or the pedestrians. So test procedures that can only measure the performance of the vehicle and neglect the influence of the colliding vehicle will not be able to describe the safety performance completely. Another problem is the separate evaluation of front- impact and side- impact.
