16. Abstract
This test report documents a crash test to evaluate the response of
Side Impact dummies in a moving deformable barrier into stationary vehicle
left side impact crash test at an impact velocity in excess of the FMVSS 214
specifications. This test was conducted on a Calspan RSV 5-door hatchback
at the TRC Crash Test Facility, East Liberty, Ohio. The test vehicle was
impacted on the left side by a moving deformable barrier, crabbed to 2?“, at
38.9 mph. The test was a simulation of a 90° intersection collision with
the striking vehicle travelling 35 mph and the struck vehicle travelling at
17.5 mph. Occupant responses of two side impact dummies were measured. One
Biosid dummy was located in the driver's designated seating position and one
Part 572 F dummy was located in the left rear seating position. The test
date was June 4, 1991, and the ambient temperature was 71° F.

PURPOSE AND TEST SUMMARY
PURPOSE
The purpose of this test was to evaluate the response of side impact
dummies in a moving deformable barrier into stationary vehicle left side
impact test at an impact velocity in excess of the FMVSS 214
specifications. The vehicle was tested using conditions specified in FMVSS
214, Docket No. 88-06, Notice 8 final rule with the exception of the higher
impact velocity.
INTRODUCTION
A stationary Calspan RSV 5-door hatchback was impacted on the left side
by a Moving Deformable Barrier (MDB) on June 4, 1991. The test was to
simulate an intersection collision with the striking vehicle travelling at
35 mph and the struck vehicle travelling at 17.5 mph. The orientation angle
of the striking vehicle was 90° counterclockwise with respect to the
longitudinal axis of the struck vehicle. The leading edge of contact was to
be 37 inches forward of the midpoint of the wheelbase.
To simulate this collision, the MDB was to be towed into the stationary
Calspan RSV at 39.1 mph with the MDB's wheels crabbed clockwise to 27°. The
actual test speed was 38.9 mph and the actual leading edge of contact was
36.1 inches forward of the midpoint of the Calspan RSV's wheelbase.
One (1) BIOSID dummy was located in the Calspan RSV driver's designated
seating position and one (1) Part 572 F dummy was located in the left rear
designated seating position.
