EEVC research in the field of improvement of crash compatibility between passenger cars

摘要: EEVC Working Group 15 (Compatibility Between Passenger Cars) has carried out research for several years thanks to collaborative project funded by the E.C. and also exchanging results of projects national programmes. The main activity WG15 last four was a partly European Commission, where group made first attempt investigate compatibility between passenger cars in comprehensive program. Accident, crash test, mathematical modelling data were analysed. result that structural incompatibilities frequently found identified as source incompatibility problems but not easy quantify. Unfortunately little vehicle information other than mass is recorded most accident databases, analyses have only been able show effect or ratio. Common ideas improve reached this from discussion with groups. They will be investigated next phase, work concentrate on development methods assess cars. idea prerequisite interaction. important issue improved must compromise vehicle's self protection. Test should lead vehicles which good interaction car accidents. prove may an adaptation existing regulatory test procedures (offset deformable barrier full width like USA) frontal impact new tests. Additional criteria, e.g. force distribution, maximum deceleration compatible Attempts estimate benefit more fleet Community.
