EVALUATION OF THE BIOSID DUMMY MDB-TO-CAR SIDE IMPACT TEST OF A 26 DEG CRABBED MOVING DEFORMABLE BARRIER INTO A 1987 NISSAN SENTRA 2-DOOR SEDAN AT 33.5 MPH. FINAL REPORT
This test report documents a crash test to evaluate the response of BioSid dummies in a moving deformable barrier into stationary vehicle side impact crash test. Testing was conducted on a 1987 Nissan Sentra 2-door sedan at the TRC Crash Test Facility, East Liberty, Ohio. The test vehicle was impacted on the left side by a moving deformable barrier, crabbed to 26 deg, at 33.3 mph. The test was a simulation of a 90 deg intersection collision with the striking vehicle travelling at 30 mph and the struck vehicle travelling at 15 mph. Occupant responses of two side impact dummies were measured. One dummy was located in the driver's designated seating position and one was located in the left rear seating position. The test date was May 9, 1990 and the ambient temperature was 74 deg F.
