The study was undertaken to investigate the effect that altering the striking vehicle front end characteristics has on occupant safety in a side impact. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration's (NHTSA) moving deformable barrier (MDB) was used to conduct twelve crash tests. Three different types of honeycomb barrier faces were used, each representing a front end characteristic change. The alterations were believed to represent achievable production vehicle changes. Each of the altered frontal designs were tested four times, striking baseline and padded Volkswagen Rabbits. The occupant responses and relative benefit from each of these concepts are shown and discussed.
