FRONTAL OCCUPANT SLED SIMULATION CORRELATION VEHICLE TO FIXED LOAD CELL BARRIER 1980 FORD MUSTANG INTO A FIXED LOAD CELL BARRIER AT 29.9 MPH

This test report documents a frontal impact crash test into a load cell barrier used to establish a baseline for unrestrained occupant responses. HYGE sled tests will then be conducted to determine the correlation to the crash test results of this report. Testing was conducted on a 1980 2-door Ford Mustang at the TRCO Crash Test Facility, East Liberty, Ohio. The test vehicle was towed into a fixed, load measuring barrier at 29.9 mph. Occupant responses of two Hybrid III dummies were measured. One dummy was located in the driver's designated seating position and one was located in the front passenger's seat. The test date was August 23, 1984 and the ambient temperature was 74 deg F.
