Abstract:

In 2015 Euro NCAP announced that the current offset deformable barrier frontal impact test procedure would be revised and a frontal impact working group was set-up to develop the new procedure. The aim was to bring together individual research efforts by FIMCAR [1], ADAC and other organisations [2,3] on the development of a ‘moving barrier to vehicle’ frontal impact test and derive common specifications for the new Euro NCAP test and assessment procedure from this. In partnership with the European Enhanced Vehicle safety Committee (EEVC), Euro NCAP examined the extent to which the advanced frontal THOR-M ATD is ready and suitable for use in this new test procedure. The overall results of the accident analyses, the specification of the test setup and the definition of the barrier were reported at the ESV 2017 in Detroit [4]. In the subsequent stage, the group focussed on the assessment criteria for the THOR dummy, the compatibility assessment and the fullscale evaluation of the procedure. Several round robin tests were organised to check the feasibility and repeatability of the method, in particular with regards to the THOR dummy and the barrier scanning. The group has released the final test and assessment protocols in 2018 for adoption in 2020, but will continue to monitor relevant developments, in particular related to dummy hardware and certification updates.
