A safety design feature must be evaluated in several crash modes and taking into account the distribution of essential parameters. This report presents a method whereby the safety potential of a safety design feature in a certain accident configuration can be predicted before the system is exposed to real traffic conditions. This is done by combining data from crash tests or mathematical simulations...
If car manufacturers carry out crash tests at only one speed and with only one dummy size there is a risk of sub-optimizing the car safety systems. This risk is illustrated by an assumed case. An existing belt system is compared with two hypothetical designs. Depending on which test strategy is chosen, the safety properties of one of the new designs can be found to be either better, or worse, than...
