Harmonization of MDB (Moving Deformable Barrier): MDB-to-Car-Side Impact Test of A26 deg Crabbed Moving Deformable Barrier to a 1985 Chevrolet Celebrity at 33.1 MPH

摘要

The test report documents a side impact test conducted to evaluate various methods of determining door velocity. Testing was conducted on a 1985 Chevrolet Celebrity 4-door sedan at the TRC Crash Test Facility, East Liberty, Ohio. The test vehicle was impacted on the left side by a moving deformable barrier, crabbed to 26 deg, at 33.1 mph. The test was a simulation of a 90 deg intersection collision with the striking vehicle travelling at 30 mph and the struck vehicle travelling at 15 mph. The test date was January 7, 1988 and the ambient temperature was 14 deg F.
