Abstract
Following the European Experimental Vehicles Committee's
definitions, the mobile barrier frame was built by several partners
and rigid polyurethane foam selected as the material for the front
deformable face. A validation process consisted of different tests
distributed among ONSER, BASt, and TRRL. ONSER, UTAC, and TRRL
conducted impact tests on individual blocks, total tests against a
dynamometric wall, and lateral impact tests against the Renault 14
as struck cars.
The validation was completed by performing barrier-to-car tests
at the BASt facility according to the proposed EEVC impact test
procedure. The basis for comparison was given by car/car tests
under the same conditions and with cars of the same type. These
cars were the Golf and Daimler Benz (W 123 series). Results from
this test series show the barrier face has a very useful crash
simulation fidelity and repeatability
