Abstract

Research into the development of enhanced side impact test procedures hasbeen supported by the UK Department for Transport (DfT) for a number of years. Much of this support was channelled into research performed by the European Enhanced Vehicle safety Committee (EEVC) Working Group 13 (WG13), which performs research into side impact protection. WG13 were tasked withsupporting the International Harmonisation of Research Activities (IHRA) Side Impact Working Group (SIWG), who were developing a suite of test procedures for advanced side impact protection. This research programme was undertaken to continue the support provided by the DfT in the development ofglobal harmonised side impact test procedures. In particular, the programme contributed to the development of a full scale side impact mobile deformable barrier test procedure and a sub-system interior surface test procedure. (A)
