SECTION C - GENERAL REQUIREMENTS

C.1 METRIC SYSTEM OF MEASUREMENT

Section 5164 of the Omnibus Trade and Competitiveness Act (Pub. L. 100-418) established that the metric system of measurement was the preferred system of weights and measures for trade and commerce in the United States. Executive order 12770 directed Federal agencies to comply with the Act by converting regulatory standards to the metric system after September 30, 1992. In a Final Rule published on March 15, 1990 (60 FR 13639), NHTSA completed the first phase of metrication, converting English measurements in several regulatory standards to the metric system. Since then, metrication has been applied to other regulatory standards (63 FR 28912).

Therefore if a testing laboratory has any test equipment which is required to execute this test that cannot provide direct measurement in metric units, the test laboratory shall calculate the exact metric equivalent by means of a conversion factor carried out to at least five significant digits before rounding consistent with the specified metric requirement.

All test reports and injury data are required to include metric measurements for standards using metrication.

NOTE: The methodology for rounding measurement in the test reports shall be made in accordance with ASTM E29-13, “Standard Practice for Using Significant Digits in Test Data to Determine Conformance with Specifications.”

C.2 GOVERNMENT FURNISHED PROPERTY (GFP)

11  

measuring equipment” and American National Standard ANSI/NCSL Z540.3-2006, “Calibration Laboratories and Measuring and Test Equipment General Requirements

C.12 ATD QUALIFICATION

ATDs shall be qualified as defined by the contract. If qualification before and after each test is required, the post-test qualification data obtained after a crash test can be used as the pre-test calibration qualification data for a subsequent crash test as long as the dummy is used within eight (8) weeks of the post-test calibration qualification, and the dummy is not used for any other static or dynamic tests during that time period.

The qualification data for the test device shall be submitted as part of the Quality Control Package, the Draft Test Report, and Final Test Report (see Deliverables). Qualification data must also be available electronically (in UDS format with an .ev5 header) if requested by the COR. Electronic data collected for all ATD qualifications must be retained by the Contractor for at least five years from the test date.

In the event of a test failure (i.e. failure to meet performance requirements) or data anomaly, the ATD must be inspected to identify any type of contributing electrical or mechanical issue. Furthermore, the COR may request that the region be re-qualified before testing can resume. Additional checks of test equipment and instrumentation may be required for verification of accuracy. The necessity for investigations and the qualification will be at the COR’s discretion and will be performed without additional cost.

C.13 OMDB STORAGE

C.14 TEST SURFACE

The test surface on which the vehicle rests prior to impact shall be smooth, level, rigid, and of uniform construction, with a skip number of 75 when measured in accordance with ASTM E274/E274M-11. Additionally, the paths that the target test vehicle and bullet OMDB take after impact must be taken into consideration when determining the size and placement of the concrete area for this test. The surface must be large enough to support both the test vehicle and OMDB for 300 ms after the impact event. One significant factor which has an effect on the size of such area is the mass / size of the target test vehicle. For example, lightweight, sub-compart cars travel a greater distance post impact as compared with large heavy vehicles

 

12  

C.15 TOW ROAD

The tow road surface must be straight and of a uniform construction. The tow road must have sufficient length to allow for stabilization of the OMDB velocity (zero acceleration) prior to impact with the test vehicle and to allow time for the OMDB to be stopped from a test speed of 90.1 km/h ± 0.80 km/h in the event of a test abort. It must be flat enough to allow for the OMDB’s motion to stabilize prior to impacting with the test vehicle.

C.16 TEST VEHICLE PREPARATION BUILDING / STRUCTURE

SECTION E - TEST EXECUTION

E.1 - POSITIONING TEST VEHICLE AND OMDB

Reference the figure below as the following steps are completed.

 

___ 1. Construct a reference line on the floor of the test area that intersects the center of the front face of the aluminum honeycomb barrier and is at 15 degrees clockwise to the centerline of the OMDB

___ 2. Push the test vehicle by hand parallel to this centerline until the left edge of the OMDB’s aluminum honeycomb barrier aligns with the alignment point that was determined in Section D, Alignment Point (Tolerance = +/- 12.5 mm).

___ 3. Measure the distance from the 15 degree reference line and the test centerline of the vehicle at the front and rear. If the distances are not the same, reposition the vehicle until these measurements are the same or within +/- tolerance of 5 mm.

___ 4. Apply a 100 mm target to the front of the vehicle with its center on the offset line (inboard edge of the offset line inch tape) on or as near to the alignment point as practicable. This will be the impact target.

___ 5. Attach a pointed rigid steel rod (approximately 3 mm in diameter) to the left side of the OMDB’s aluminum honeycomb barrier so that its tip lines up with the center of the impact target. This represents the target impact point and will record actual impact point.

___ 6. Should the test vehicle have features (i.e. air dam or skirting) that come in contact with the OMDB before the edge of the OMDB contacts the impact point, 25 mm checkerboard tape shall be utilized to create a visual alignment reference. A line that passes through this first contact feature shall be placed on the hood and bumper of the vehicle and on the front and top of the OMDB’s aluminum barrier face. The line shall fall in a

 

77  

longitudinal vertical plane that is parallel to the OMDB’s centerline so that the line appears straight when viewed directly from above. The 25 mm tape shall be applied to the vehicle and OMDB so that its inboard edge, relative to the vehicle, follows the line. A second piece of 25 mm tape shall be placed perpendicular to this line to depict the first contact line. See the figure below for visual representation.

___ 4. CS - Steering Wheel to Chest - Taken from the center of the steering wheel hub to the ATD's chest. Use a level.

___ 5. CD - Chest to Dash - Place a tape measure on the tip of the ATD's chin and rotate 125 mm of it downward toward the ATD to the point of contact on the transverse center of the ATD's chest. Measure from this point to the closest point on the dashboard either between the upper part of the steering wheel between the hub and the rim, or measure to the dashboard placing the tape measure above the rim, whichever is a shorter measurement.

___ 6. RA - Steering Wheel Rim to Abdomen - Taken from the bottommost point of the steering wheel rim horizontally rearward to the ATD. Use a level.

 

88  

___ 7. NR - Nose to Rim - Taken from the approximate location of the ATD's nose to the closest point on the top of the steering wheel rim. Also indicate the angle this line makes with respect to the horizontal, the Nose to Rim Angle, NA.

___ 8. KDL, KDR - Left and Right Knees to Dashboard*1 - Taken from the center of the knee pivot bolt's outer surface to the closest point forward acquired by swinging the tape measure in continually larger arcs until it contacts the dashboard. Also reference the angle of this measurement with respect to the horizontal for the outboard Knee to Dash Angle, KDA.

___ 9. SH, SK, ST - Striker to H-Point, Knee, and Head - These measurements are to be taken in the X-Z plane measured from the forward most center point on the striker to the center of the H-point, outer knee bolt, and head target. When taking this measurement a firm device that can be rigidly connected to the striker should be used. Use a level. The angles of these measurements with respect to the horizontal should also be recorded. The measurement in the Y (transverse) direction from the striker to the H-point, designated Striker to H-Point, SHY (see below) should also be taken.

 

NOTE: The following measurements are to be made within a vertical transverse plane:

___ 10.HS - Head to Side Window - Taken from the point where the dummy's nose meets his forehead (between his eyes) to the outside of the side window. In order to make this measurement, roll the window down to the exact height that allows a level measurement. Use a level.

___ 11.AD - Arm to Door -Taken from the outer surface of the elbow pivot bolt on ATD to the first point it hits on the door.

___ 12. HD - H-point to Door - taken from the H-point on the dummy to the closest point on the door. Use a level.

___ 13.HR - Head to Side Header - measure the shortest distance from the point where the dummy's nose meets his forehead (between his eyes) to the side edge of the header just above the window frame, directly adjacent to the dummy.

___ 14.SHY - Striker to H-point - Taken from a rod rigidly connected to the forward most center point on the striker to the H-point. Use a level.
