| Summary: | 1990 through present. 1993, was the standard test vehicle of that weight class for 2.literature review. 3.Statistical study 4. 2040 kg (4500 lb) passenger car which till its replacement in all formal vehicle crash testing procedures. The study approach consisted of the following main tasks:, 1. as a surrogate for light truck subclasses. The National as the 2000P test vehicle in NCHRP Report 350) replaced the assessment of the 2000P test vehicle. These parameters were Cooperative Highway Research Program (NCHRP) Report 350 Drawbacks and limitations experienced during tasks were entire study. A six year ceiling was recommended by the Identification and comparison of key vehicle parameters. NCHRP Report 350 by Ross et al. (1993) for the purpose of on the surrogate sufficiency of the 2000P test vehicle. outlined as well as the contribution and significance of the parameters were identified and used in a preliminary pickup as the surrogate for all light truck subclasses. This recommended the use of a 3/4-ton (approximately 2000 kg) Report 350 was then utilized in the evaluation of simulation results. Results were then synthesized and a thesis prepared roadside features. A comparison scheme developed using NCHRP Simulation study. 5.Synthesize results. 6.Prepare standard test vehicle, the 3/4-ton pick-up truck (designated study focuses on the modern light truck fleet, model years subclasses and the 2000P test vehicle on impact with selected then used as statistical variables in the statistical study thesis. In the initial part of the study key vehicle This study evaluated the adequacy of the 2000P test vehicle undertaken. The HVOSM computer simulation program was then used to evaluate representatives of the larger light truck vehicle selection for crash testing purposes. Hence this |
