| Abstract(E) | This paper introduces a novel, simplified sub-system test methodology for lateral impact scenarios that offers significant advantages over existing market solutions. Unlike complex alternatives, this effective approach uses an optimized system controlling deceleration, door intrusion, and dummy-interior interactions to replicate the full crash kinematics. Virtual validation at component and sub-system levels precedes physical testing, demonstrating good correlation in pelvis and torso injury metrics, dummy kinematics and SAB deployment. Despite minor intrusion velocity differences affecting shoulder forces, this accessible methodology provides representative crash severity comparable to full-scale tests, enabling efficient side restraint system development from early design phases. |
