| PSI | Session 2 | 3-4 Mar 2011 |
Mr Slaba presented an analysis of GIDAS data and internal BMW oblique and perpendicular vehicle-to-pole side impact crash testing (PSI-02-18). This BMW GIDAS analysis was intentionally restricted to vehicles not registered before 2000 with damage to the occupant compartment. Mr Slaba noted that vehicles fitted with ESC (as will be required by regulation) showed an increased tendency towards oblique impact as ESC acts to bring the vehicle more on track. Mr Slaba also noted that the ES-2re dummy readings from internal BMW 32 km/h oblique tests were generally more severe than the ES-2 readings from 29 km/h perpendicular tests and that the oblique test had proven practicable to conduct. |
