Toyota Corolla Side Impact with a Narrow Object FOIL Test Number: 93S007

摘要

The report contains the test procedures, test setup and test results from a crashtest performed at the Federal Outdoor Impact Laboratory (FOIL) located at Turner-Fairbank Highway Research Center (TFHRC) in McLean, Virginia. The test was conducted by the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) for the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA). The test involved a 1993 Toyota Corolla four-door sedan and the FOIL's instrumented rigid pole. The test was a side-impact between the Toyota Corolla and the FOIL's rigid pole. The objective of the test was to provide the NHTSA with data on side-impact fuel tank integrity for a mid-sized sedan. Results from the test are presented as graphs of data from the transducers affixed to the test vehicle and photographs before, during, and after the test. Conclusions on fuel tank integrity were drawn from a visual inspection of the test vehicles undercarriage for leakage rather than from electronic data or film analysis.
