Abstract

This article describes a 0% offset, 0 degree, vehicle-to-vehicle impact test conducted for the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration and the Vehicle Research and Test Center. The aim was to evaluate the aggressiveness of the bullet vehicle, a 2003 Chevrolet Silverado, and the vehicle and occupant response of the target vehicle, a 2002 Ford FocusSE 4-door sedan in a vehicle-to-vehicle impact mode collision at 75 mph closing speed. Test procedures and results are provided and discussed.
