This report contains the test procedures, test setup and test results from the second of four broadside crash tests between a 1995 Honda Accord LX four-door sedan and the Federal Outdoor Impact Laboratory (FOIL) 300K instrumented rigid pole. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) enlisted the FHWA to aid in the development of laboratory test procedures to be used in a revised or amended version of Fedeal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) 201 (Occupant Protection in Interior Impact). The test procedures and test setup are the same as followed for the first test (FOIL test number 97S003). The data from these two tests produced similar low HIC values, suggesting further examination of the impact location, crab angle, or seating position is needed to determine the best compliance test parameters for dynamic side-impact protection systems.
