Furthermore, the crash trolley should have a suspension to show rotation and nick effects similar to real vehicles. Within the development phase the reference vehicle was build based on a European family car. Special attention was needed to provide appropriate strength to the trolley and its suspension. The reference vehicle is equipped with a restraint system consisting of airbags, pedals, seats, dashboard, and windscreen. On the front of the vehicle different crash barriers can be installed to provide miscellaneous deceleration pulses. For the validation phase a series of low and high speed crash tests with HIII dummies were conducted and compared with full scale tests. For the comparison deceleration pulse, dummy numbers and vehicle movement were analyzed. Validation tests with velocities up to 60 km/h showed promising results. The compartment and the suspension systems stayed stable. Rotation effects were comparable with full scale car crash tests. The airbags and seat belt system worked reasonable. The acceleration pulse compared to an Euro NCAP test had a similar characteristic but was in general slightly lower. After the successful validation the reference vehicle is already in use in different studies in the field of vehicle safety research at BASt. KW - Anfahrversuch KW - Deformierbare Barriere (Anpralltest) KW - Eichung KW - Empfindlichkeit KW - Fahrzeug KW - Forschungsarbeit KW - Konferenz KW - Passives Sicherheitssystem KW - Calibration KW - Conference KW - Deformable barrier system (impact test) KW - Impact test KW - Passive safety system KW - Research project KW - Sensitivity KW - Vehicle Y1 - 2013 UR - https://bast.opus.hbz-nrw.de/frontdoor/index/index/docId/724 N1 - Weiterhin beteiligt: Fachhochschule Köln; Universität Wuppertal; Fachhochschule Dortmund.
