Objective
The project will provide the start of a scientific approach to the question of crash compatibility between cars. Effort will be concentrated on the most important impact types: car to car frontal and side impacts. Consideration will also be given to the implications for pedestrian and other types of impact.
The work will cover three main activities:
1. Data from in-depth accident studies will be used to identify the most important problems related to compatibility.
2. Typical accident configurations will be replicated by carrying out experimental car to car impacts. These crash tests should help to identify the major problems occurring when two cars impact.
3. Computer simulation modelling will be used to study the effects of changing the effective stiffness and mass of two cars impacting.
