FI | Session 18 | 30 Jan 2013

The members of the group have been asked about their preference as regards using a FWRB test or a FWDB test. There was consens about using a FWRB test. Some members pointed out, that this shall be seen as a phase 1 approach and that the FWRB test shall not be the final test tool.

The members of the group have been asked about their preference as regards dummy selection and dummy seating position in the car to be tested. Germany, UK and the Netherlands pointed out that they want to have a 5th percentile dummy being used in the Full Width Test. France keeps its position of using two 50th percentile dummies. OICA repeated their concerns about using the 5th percentile H3 for regulation.

It was decided that the Impact Assessment group shall consider the variants

a) FWRB – 5th perc. Driver – 50th perc. Frontal Occupant,
b) FWRB – 50th perc. Driver – 5th perc. Frontal Occupant,
c) FWRB – 50th perc. Driver – 50th perc. Frontal Occupant

and shall give evidence on the most cost effective variant.

Mr. Damm pointed out that Germany is in favor of including geometric alignment requirements in the impact assessment. Germany will make a proposition on that behalf in the next meeting of the IWG R94.
