Results of six tests of automobiles impacting a rigid simulated heavy vehicle underride guard are presented. The test vehicles represented three general classes of conventional automobiles: (1) small, lightweight rear engine vehicles, (2) standard full size medium weight automobiles, and (3) a heavy, luxurious type of automobile. Underride guard clearance above the roadway was varied in the tests for which the nominal impact speeds were 40 MPH. Impact loads applied to the rigid underride guard and the dynamic response of the vehicles were recorded, analyzed and evaluated. (Author)
