Abstract

Many countries conducted side impact tests resulting in extensive safety measures for regulation. The IHRA conducted research activity in order to harmonized regulation worldwide, which was a challenging work. This had led to MDB improvements first and then to develop the deformable barrier representative for the EU-vehicle fleet so called Advanced European Mobile Deformable barrier AE-MDB.

This work is a first evaluation of both MDB-R95 and AE-MDB side impact barriers in their standard dynamic Load cell Wall tests knowing that AE-MDB will be introduced to EuroNCAP rating soon.
