Dynamic simulation sled testing can represent various automotive collision conditions. Acceleration conditions during sled testing are readily reproducible and can be tuned to simulate collision events that occur during vehicle impacts with a fixed barrier or vehicle. Sled tests are conducted on automotive vehicle bodies or other structures to obtain valuable information. This information can be used to evaluate the dynamic performance of, but not limited to, vehicle restraint systems, vehicle seating systems, and body closure systems.

This recommended practice provides a procedure for measuring quantitatively the physical characteristics of linear impactors that are believed to effect impact test accuracy, repeatability, and reproducibility. Suggested values and tolerance are also provided for specific applications of linear impactor testing (i.e. Ejection Mitigation tests, Head form Impact tests, Body Block tests). Two functional groups of linear impactors are considered, those whose function is related primarily to displacement and those related to measuring acceleration or force.

Collision tests are conducted on automotive vehicles to obtain information of value in evaluating structural integrity and in reducing occupant injuries. Deceleration conditions during a moving barrier impact are more severe at a given speed than those produced by using a crushable vehicle but are more readily reproducible than those occurring during impacts of two vehicles. The purpose of this SAE Recommended Practice is to establish sufficient standardization of moving barriers and moving barrier collision methods so that results of tests conducted at different facilities may be compared.

Collision tests are conducted on automotive vehicles to obtain information of value in evaluation of structural integrity and in reducing occupant injuries. The deformation resulting from a moving rigid barrier impact is more severe at a given speed than that produced by using a crushable vehicle, but is more readily reproducible than that occurring during impacts of two vehicles. The purpose of this recommended practice is to establish sufficient standardization of such moving barriers and moving barrier collision methods so that results of tests conducted at different facilities may be compared. Background information and a rationale for the test procedures described in this recommended practice are provided in the Appendix.

The scope of this document is to provide an overview of the techniques found in the published literature for rollover testing and rollover crashworthiness evaluation at the vehicle and component levels. It is not a comprehensive literature review, but rather illustrates the techniques that are in use or have been used to evaluate rollover crashworthiness-related issues.

Fixed rigid barrier collisions can represent severe automotive impacts. Barrier collision tests are conducted on automotive vehicles to obtain information of value in reducing occupant injuries and in evaluating structural integrity. The purpose of this SAE Recommended Practice is to establish sufficient standardization of barrier collision methods so that results of similar tests conducted at different facilities can be compared. The barrier device may be of almost any configuration, such as flat, round, offset, etc.

Barrier collisions represent the most severe type of automotive impacts. Deceleration conditions during barrier collisions are more readily reproducible than those occurring during other types of impacts. Barrier collision tests are conducted on automotive vehicles to obtain information of value in reducing occupant injuries and in evaluating structural integrity. The purpose of this SAE Recommended Practice is to establish sufficient standardization of barrier collision methods that results of tests conducted at different facilities may be compared.
