Abstract

The reduction of occupant injury to side collision is a major subject worldwide.

Extensive research into this subject is now being carried out, mainly in the US, Europe and Japan. As a result, vigorous discussion has come out during various types of international conferences promoting international conformity such as WP29IGRSP, IS0 and ESV International Conference.

However, international harmonization of test method has not yet been attained. The US method and European-Japanese methods are different in Moving Deformable Barrier (MDB), the dummy and the injury criteria.

Japanese developed barriers are made mainly of an aluminum honeycomb structure and proved to be of high repeatability in the calibration tests which are the test procedure for Japanese Safety Standard scheduled to be issued on October 1998.
