According to the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) research, the main factor of the occupants’ fatalities in these days is a small overlap crash at frontal crash area. So they recently released new small overlap crash test (25% of a car"s front end on the driver side strikes a 5-foot-tall rigid barrier at 40 mph) protocol.
During the crash event, the tested vehicle moves to sideways away from the barrier and the amount of foot well intrusion should be increased more than existing offset test. This can be critical factor for the Dummy injury. In this study, the purpose is to predict injury for small overlap frontal crash test.
