The European Enhanced Vehicle-safety Committee wants to promote the use of more biofidelic child dummies and biomechanical based tolerance limits in regulatory and consumer testing. This study has investigated the feasibility and potential impact of Q-dummies and new injury criteria for child restraint system assessment in frontal impact. European accident statistics have been reviewed for all ECE-R44 CRS groups. For frontal impact, injury measures are recommended for the head, neck, chest and abdomen. Priority of body segment protection depends on the ECE-R44 group. The Q-dummy family is able to reflect these injuries, because of its biofidelity performance and measurement capabilities for these body segments. Currently, the Q0, Q1, Q1.5, Q3 and Q6 are available representing children of 0, 1, 1.5, 3 and 6 years old. These Q-dummies cover almost all dummy weight groups as defined in ECE-R44. Q10, representing a 10 year-old child, is under development. New child dummy injury criteria are under discussion in EEVC WG12. Therefore, the ECE-R44 criteria are assessed by comparing the existing P-dummies and new Q-dummies in ECE-R44 frontal impact sled tests. In total 300 tests covering 30 CRSs of almost all existing child seat categories are performed by 11 European organizations. From this benchmark study, it is concluded that the performance of the Q-dummy family is good with respect to repeatability of the measurement signals and the durability of the dummies. Applying ECE-R44 criteria, the first impression is that results for P- and Q-dummy are similar. For child seat evaluation the potential merits of the Q-dummy family lie in the extra measurement possibilities of these dummies and in the more biofidelic response.
Werden die in Deutschland gebräuchlichen Stahlschutzplanken umgestaltet um das Verletzungsrisiko für Motorradfahrer zu verringern, zeigt sich ein Kompatibilitätsproblem: Die Erhöhung der Sicherheit für Motorradfahrer wird mit Einschränkungen der Sicherheit von Pkw-Insassen erkauft. Um dieses Kompatibilitätsproblem zu lösen wurden unter Federführung der Bundesanstalt für Straßenwesen (BASt) neue Nachrüstkomponenten für Stahlschutzplanken entwickelt. Dabei lag der Schwerpunkt auf der Senkung der Verletzungsschwere für Motorradfahrer. Im vorliegenden Projekt sollten die Nachrüstkomponenten des Systems "EuskirchenPlus" ihre Tauglichkeit auch für Pkw-Insassen in Anprallprüfungen (Crashtests) beweisen. Dies gelang zunächst nicht. Daher wurden die Nachrüstkomponenten zu neuen Konstruktionen ("ESP-Motorrad" und "EDSP-Motorrad") weiterentwickelt, und es gelang, die "ESP-Motorrad" erfolgreich zu prüfen. Die Eignung der "EDSP-Motorrad" wurde aus den vorliegenden Forschungsergebnissen und den Erfahrungen der BASt abgeleitet. Das Kompatibilitätsproblem konnte zwar nicht umfassend gelöst, jedoch soweit beseitigt werden, dass keine relevanten Einsatzbeschränkungen mehr aufrecht erhalten werden müssen. Die "ESP-Motorrad" und die "EDSP-Motorrad" sind auf nahezu allen für Motorradunfälle relevanten Strecken grundsätzlich geeignet, die klassischen Stahlschutzplanken ESP beziehungsweise EDSP zu ersetzen.
Accident analysis
(2014)
For the assessment of vehicle safety in frontal collisions compatibility (which consists of self and partner protection) between opponents is crucial. Although compatibility has been analysed worldwide for years, no final assessment approach has been defined to date. Taking into account the European Enhanced Vehicle safety Committee (EEVC) compatibility and frontal impact working group (WG15) and the EC funded FP5 VC-COMPAT project activities, two test approaches have been identified as the most promising candidates for the assessment of compatibility. Both are composed of an off-set and a full overlap test procedure. In addition another procedure (a test with a moving deformable barrier) is getting more attention in today- research programmes. The overall objective of the FIMCAR project is to complete the development of the candidate test procedures and propose a set of test procedures suitable for regulatory application to assess and control a vehicle- frontal impact and compatibility crash safety. In addition an associated cost benefit analysis should be performed. The specific objectives of the work reported in this deliverable were: - Determine if previously identified compatibility issues are still relevant in current vehicle fleet: Structural interaction, Frontal force matching, Compartment strength in particular for light cars. - Determine nature of injuries and injury mechanisms: Body regions injured o Injury mechanism: Contact with intrusion, Contact, Deceleration / restraint induced. The main data sources for this report were the CCIS and Stats 19 databases from Great Britain and the GIDAS database from Germany. The different sampling and reporting schemes for the detailed databases (CCIS & GIDAS) sometimes do not allow for direct comparisons of the results. However the databases are complementary " CCIS captures more severe collisions highlighting structure and injury issues while GIDAS provides detailed data for a broader range of crash severities. The following results represent the critical points for further development of test procedures in FIMCAR.
