Two fully loaded (80,000 pounds nominal weight) tractor semi-trailer trucks were impacted into an instrumented wall at 55 miles per hour and an oblique angle of 15 degrees to the wall. The objective of the FHWA contract was to determine lateral impact forces in heavy vehicle collisions with an instrumented wall. The objectives of the NHTSA contract were to study heavy truck occupant kinematics and trauma outcomes. The report covers results mostly from the NHTSA contract. The FHWA contract is still ongoing and the results will be presented in a separate report.
