Abstract

This article presents results of a 50% offset, 0 degree, vehicle-to-vehicle impact test sponsored by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. The aim was to evaluate and compare vehicle and occupant responses in vehicle-to-vehicle crash tests against full frontal rigid barrier crash tests conducted using a high-resolution load cell barrier. Test procedures used with the bullet vehicle, a 1999 Dodge Caravan SE, and the target vehicle, a 2004 Honda Accord EX, are described, and a test results summary is provided.
