The work reported is an extension of a previous analytical study of the FMVSS 208 Rollover Test Procedure with the primary objective of evaluating several rollover test device concepts for application to a 400 Series Rollover Standard. The effort included a review of 267 rollover accident cases from the pre-April 1978 NCSS data file, a review of available test results conducted in accordance with the FMVSS 208 Rollover Test Procedure, and analytical evaluations of two additional rollover test devices. It was concluded that a forced motion rollover test device which induces test vehicle chassis by an independent motion producing system offers the best promise of achieving repeatable rollover conditions across a spectrum of test vehicles.
