The characteristics of the Integrated Test Vehicle as they pertain to vehicle safety are delineated. Vehicle safety is described under three basic headings: (1) the safety characteristics of the vehicle under normal operating conditions further subcategorized into vehicle operation, vehicle charging, and vehicle maintenance (operational characteristics shall include a discussion of electromagnetic compatibility or EMC); (2) a similar and parallel discussion of the vehicle's safety characteristics during operation, charging, and maintenance under the presumption that failure of elements of vehicle hardware has in fact occurred; and (3) safety characteristics and potential hazards of the vehicle associated with or resulting from vehicle collision or upset. Discussions are based upon design considerations, compliance with applicable standards, and results of analyses and tests. (ERA citation 06:028928)
