Side Impact Crash Testing of Roadside Structures

摘要

The report contains a summary of 12 side impact crash tests performed at theFederal Outdoor Impact Laboratory (FOIL) to evaluate the performance of several types of roadside structures. The tests are described and results presented. The results of these tests are then combined with earlier test series and statistical models that predict dummy responses from test results. These preliminary models could be used to evaluate the risk to occupants based on the response of hypothetical anthropometric dummies.
