The Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL) has completed a preliminary evaluation of current finite element technology capability applied to roadside hardware design and vehicle crashworthiness research using the non-linear structural code, DYNA3D. Independently developed vehicle models were evaluated, modified, and then used in several vehicle crash simulations. Criteria were specified for improving the development of vehicle models. Simulation capabilities were increased, and future direction identified for the roadside safety community.
