N2  - The ISO 13232 document recommends a set of 3 frontal impact test configurations between the motorcycle (MC) and the car (also known as the opposing vehicle, or OV). This paper reports Finite Element (FE) based simulations of the above-mentioned frontal impacts for the OV and their detailed analysis. The simulations have been carried out in PAMCRASH. The kinetics of the crash simulation have been matched with the Full Scale Test (FST) conducted at the Japan Automobile Research Institute (JARI). The simulations indicate the sensitivity of the different parameters in the various MC - OV impact configurations.<p />
