Abstract In this paper two crash tests are studied: the small overlap test introduced by IIHS (Insurance Institute for Highway Safety) and the moving deformable barrier (RMDB) introduced by NHTSA (National Highway Traffic Safety Administration). Several modifications have been made to both barriers in order to obtain better data from the acquisition system and be able to improve in-depth analysis of the crash tests and vehicle structures. Both barriers have been instrumented with load cells systems, and for the validation of the acquisition system two tests were carried out, one with the IIHS small overlap barrier and a second one with the RMDB barrier in an oblique test. These two tests were performed with the same car and following the test procedure specifications. The results obtained were processed, analysed, compared and some conclusions were made.
