“…To assess occupant safety in the oblique and smalloverlap type of crashes it is necessary to find a representative laboratory test capable of replicating typical vehicle damage and corresponding injuries found in real-world data (NHTSA, Insurance Institute for Highway Safety [IIHS]). To replicate structural vehicle behavior, 2 proposed test scenarios are currently being evaluated; the IIHS small-overlap test (IIHS 2012) and the NHTSA oblique moving deformable barrier test procedure (Saunders and Parent 2013;Saunders et al 2013). In the IIHS small-overlap test procedure (IIHS SO) the Hybrid III 50th percentile male anthropomorphic test device (ATD) is currently used.…”

THOR with an SD3 shoulder should be the preferred ATD rather than the Hybrid III for evaluating head and thorax injuries in oblique frontal impacts. Thoracic interaction with the predeformed door was not well captured by the 3D IR-Traccs; hence, use of deflection as an injury predictor in oblique loading is insufficient for evaluating injury risk in this load case. However, injury risk evaluation may be performed using the strain measurements, which characterize loading from seat belt and airbag as well as the lateral contribution of the structural impact in the loading condition used in this study.

“…The Hybrid III was specified whereby a comparative study found no difference in injury risk or occupant kinematics compared to the THOR-NT (Mueller et al 2011). The THOR Mod-Kit dummy is currently being evaluated for the NHTSA oblique moving deformable barrier procedure (Saunders and Parent 2013).…”

This article presents an executed frontal small overlap crash test of two vehicles moving at a speed of approximately 43 km/h with the emphasis on the resulting crash parameters for application in traffic accident analyses. The experimentally measured data from the crash test were suitably analyzed and important crash parameters were obtained and applied in impact modelling by a simulation program, which is used to analyse traffic accidents.

“…The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) [17] has developed two moveable deformable barriers for small overlap crashes to allow repeatability of the tests. The work [18] introduces the performed, completely repeatable, tests on these barriers. The work [19] also sums up the insufficient emphasis placed by the car makers on small overlap crashes, which are very critical due to their consequences for the occupants.…”
