Design Requirements of Frontal Collisions:

1. The longitudinal front bars must be designed to be as horizontal as

possible.
ibl
2. The longitudinal beams in this area are reinforced by metal shield to
avoid bending.
3. The sidewalls must be firmly connected with the wheel housing and
the force in the middle of the A‐pillar must be transmitted via the
door
4. The integrity of the windshield. The laminated windshield must
remain in the frame
5. The steering wheel must not have relative movement with body
that exceeds a horizontal rearward movement and an upward
movement of more than 127mm during 50km/h front impact

THREE LEGAL REQUIREMENT FOR THE DYNAMIC SIDE IMPACTS TESTING:

1. Impact of 4000 lb (1818 kg) rigid barrier with a speed 32 km/h (20mph) under
90 degree to the longitudinal axis of the tested car.

2. Impact of moving barrier in accordance with FMVSS 214. The barrier with a
weight of 1365 kg is crashed with 54 km/h in a crabbed configuration.

3. Impact of the moveable/deformable barrier in accordance with ECC regulation.

The barrier is impacting the tested vehicle under 90 degree, with the centerline
meeting R‐point.

3. REAR‐END COLLISIONS

For the rear impact test

test, the agency is proposing a more stringent offset test
using a lighter deformable barrier, but at a higher test speed of 80 km/h (50
mph).

Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) No. 301, Fuel System Integrity.
The purpose of this rulemaking is to reduce fatalities and injuries caused by
fires that are the result of rear and side impacts in motor vehicle crashes.

4. ROLLOVER
• In most accident situations, an effective rollover protection system has to detect the impending
rollover early on and activate the systems that will effectively limit the impact of swinging
motions on the vehicle’s
vehicle s occupants and the risk of occupants being thrown out of the vehicle
vehicle.

• The process starts with vehicle dynamics calculations using ADAMS. In this step, rollover risks
are determined depending on parameters such as the condition of the road surface, the
geometric structure of obstacles, and the vehicle’s speed, direction of movement, and load
status.

• Then, vehicle occupant simulation is used to determine the parameters for the restraint systems
and the optimum actuation times.

• Critical driving maneuvers are analyzed during testing in order to improve vehicle models and
generate data for algorithm development. Because the majority of the parameters that exert an
influence on these cases cannot be covered by testing, the further rollover data needed for
algorithm development are generated by means of numerical simulation.

• ADAM is registered registered trade mark of MSC software

2. There are three requirements to fulfill the lateral collisions simulation test. Explain detail
all the three requirements
3. Explain the purpose of rear‐end collisions simulation test. What is the impact into
occupant?
