Abstract

The International Harmonization Research Activities Side Impact Working Group (IHRA-SIWG) focused on a new barrier face such as the Advanced European Moving Deformable Barrier (AE-MDB), which reflects recent car characteristics. Since the proportion of females severely or fatally injured in vehicle-to-vehicle crashes was greater than in males in the USA and Europe, a difference of injury criteria between male and female dummies should be investigated. Therefore, the purpose of the present study is to investigate the effect of AE-MDB on the injury criteria in male (ES-2) and female (SID-IIs) in the front seat and in female (SID-IIs) in the rear seat. In the present study, the ECE/R95 MDB or AE-MDB or car was impacted into the side of the same type of small passenger car. The present study also describes the results of the pole side impact test against the small passenger car used in the above test series according to the impact conditions proposed by the FMVSS/214 draft and E-NCAP.
