BASELINE DATA FOR DESCRIBING OCCUPANT SIDE IMPACTS AND PEDESTRIAN FRONT IMPACTS IN TWO DIMENSIONS

The objective of this project has been to modify baseline data sets developed for use with the Calspan three-dimensional crash victim simulation (HSRI Version, 1981) to a form compatible with Version 4 of the MVMA two-dimensional dynamic occupant/pedestrian simulation. The report describes the baseline vehicle geometry in Part 2. The occupant and pedestrian along with their contact interactions with the vehicle are described in Parts 3 and 4. The baseline input data sets and a sampling of the resulting computer program output are given in Part 5.
