A deformable moving barrier (Side Impactor) was developed to evaluate passenger vehicle side structures in front-to-side collisions. Data obtained from Side Impactor-to-car and car-to-car side impacts were used for comparative analyses, and it was concluded that the Side Impactor reasonably duplicated the target vehicle damage and dummy response in reference car-to-car impacts.
