Vehicle impacts with fixed roadside structures, such as poles, constitute a significant portion of road fatalities in North America. The purpose of this study was to evaluate occupant response in pole crash scenarios for varying offsets, and to compare the current occupant-based metrics with vehicle-based metrics. A Hybrid III ATD was integrated with a mid-size sedan equipped with seatbelts and an airbag. Impacts with deformable or energy absorbing and rigid poles were investigated. The predicted response was higher for the rigid pole, and varied significantly with offset from the vehicle centreline. The deformable pole resulted in lower levels of predicted injury compared to the rigid pole for the impact scenarios investigated in this study.
