abstract="The EEVC Side Impact Test Procedure includes the measurement of head impact with the EUROSID dummy. It was recognised that this would evaluate only a limited range of the potential head contact locations within the vehicle. EEVC commenced a study of accident analysis and the evaluation of potential head impact sub-systems tests. Three alternative headforms have been appraised and the effect of free flight and linearly guided impacts have been examined. The objective was to develop a simple, repeatable and representative sub-system test procedure. This paper presents progress of the EEVC study and the initial results of the test programme. Proposals are made for a possible test method and for a future validation test programme.<p />",
