A crash test of the Honda Ridgeline by the NHTSA Frontal small-overlap crash test of a 2012 Honda Odyssey 2018 Dodge Grand Caravan being struck by a mobile deformable barrier at 62 km/h 2016 Honda Fit striking a wall head-on at 56 km/h Driver-side oblique crash test of a 2017 Honda Ridgeline Jeep Liberty undergoing routine impact testing at Chrysler's Proving Grounds NHTSA research crash test ...
A crash simulation with a slender (left) and obese (right) female passenger. A crash simulation is a virtual recreation of a destructive crash test of a car or a highway guard rail system using a computer simulation in order to examine the level of safety of the car and its occupants.
Since 1996, Autoreview has been conducting independent crash tests for cars sold in the Russian market. [3] The early tests did not comply with international car safety testing methodology. [4] In 2001, the first test was carried out according to the rules of Euro NCAP, though only for frontal impact. [5]
A crash test dummy, or simply dummy, is a full-scale anthropomorphic test device (ATD) that simulates the dimensions, weight proportions and articulation of the human body during a traffic collision. Dummies are used by researchers, automobile and aircraft manufacturers to predict the injuries a person might sustain in a crash. [ 1 ]
A crash test by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety shows the damage to a compact Ford Focus struck by a Ford Explorer SUV Side impact NCAP test of a 2007 Saturn Outlook. This NHTSA collision test shows what happens when a Volkswagen New Beetle slides sideways into a utility pole or a tree.

The programme serves as an umbrella organisation encouraging co-operation between the various New Car Assessment Programmes around the world, [1] and a consumer test for vehicle safety in markets that are weakly regulated or do not yet have ...
Different criteria are used to figure out how safe a structure is in a crash, depending on the type of impact and the vehicle involved. Crashworthiness may be assessed either prospectively, using computer models (e.g., RADIOSS , LS-DYNA , PAM-CRASH , MSC Dytran , MADYMO ) or experiments, or retrospectively, by analyzing crash outcomes.
Both the test vehicle and 1,400 kg (3,090 lb) automobile-shaped four-wheeled barrier platform travel at 50 km/h (31 mph) in opposite directions towards each other during the test; the deformable barrier is designed to simulate a vehicle's crumple zone. This test is identical to the one in the Euro NCAP; in the US, the NHTSA lacks a similar test ...
