This report contains the test procedures, test setup, and test results from the second of three broadside crash tests conducted at the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) Federal Outdoor Impact Laboratory (FOIL), located at the Turner-Fairbank Highway Research Center (TFHRC) in McLean, Virgnia. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) enlisted the FHWA to aid in the development of laboratory test procedures to be used in an amended version of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards (FMVSS) 201. Four crash tests with Honda Accord LX and the (FOIL) 300K instrumented rigid pole (test numbers 97S003, 97S004, 97S005, 97S006) produced a test methodology for conducting broadside vehicle crash tests of dynamic side-impact head protection systems (e.g., air bags). Once the test procedures were established, these three additional broadside crash tests were conducted to demonstrate the practicality and feasibility of the new test procedures.
