In Korea, side impact type accidents are one of the main cause of fatality. MLTM and KATRI established sie impact regulation as well as NCAP type assessments to protect occupants. Recently, WP29 formed a informal group to study a possible harmonization of pole side impact test methods with WorldSID as a GTR. In this paper, two different dummies, ES-2 and WorldSID were evaluated with three different types of pole side impact test methods.

측면 충돌시 승객의 안전확보를 위한 미국 및 유럽의 법규 제정 과정과 배경을 살펴보고 이 두 법규를 비교하였다. 또한 이들 신 법규에 대응한 신차 개발을 위하여 컴퓨터 시뮬레이션과 같은 해석 기법을 이용시 개발 비용의 절감은 물론 개발기간도 단출할 수 있음을 보이고 미국 법규에 따른 해석 사례를 소개하였다. 정적 도어 구조 강성 해석의 경우 시험값과 평균적으로 10% 내의 오차를 보여주었다. 또한 동적 측면 충돌 해석 결과는 시험값과 비교하여 이동 대차 중심, 우측 B-필라하단 및 운전석 도어 중심에서의 Y-방향 속도의 경우 평균적으로 약 5% 차이를 보였으며 운전석 더미의 상해치는 골반 가속도의 경우 약 30%, 흉부 상해치의 경우 약 4%차이를 보여주었다. 이러한 해석 기술의 발달은 해석 결과와 시험결과 사이의 차이를 더욱 줄일 것으로 기대되며 이를 효과적으로 이용시 시작차의 제작비 및 시험비 절감 및 개발기간 단축을 가져와 자동차 설계분야의 국제경쟁력을 높이는 중요한 역할을 할 것으로 기대된다.

New USNCAP has been carried out by NHTSA including front and side crash from MY2011. In this paper, test results for USNCAP Side crash were reviewed by statistical analysis. This review focused on side crash test results to investigate the effect of changes from new USNCAP side crash test protocol among 30 passenger cars. These results were summarized as followings. Total number of 5 star vehicles on the front seat dummy (16 vehicles, 53.3%) was slightly smaller than the rear seat's (17 vehicles, 56.7%) in MDB test. For the ES-2re dummy, chest injury, ie maximum rib deflection contributed to 66% in the mean value of $P_{joint}$. Pelvis injury was highly dependent upon performance up to 87% in the SID-IIs dummy cited on the rear seat in average $P_{joint}$. For Pole test, pelvis injury made contribution to the average performance to 83%. For standard deviation, it showed the largest value in the same body region as the mean value for each dummy. Overall front seat performance showed 14 vehicles, 44.6% with 5 star vehicles less than each MDB or Pole test result. This result showed that performances in MDB test were different pattern to Pole test on driver position. Number of 5star vehicles for overall side NCAP performance are 18 passenger cars (60%). Curtain airbag and driver thorax airbag were equipped in all test vehicles. One vehicle is equipped with thorax airbag in the rear seat. Results from two side tests considered as reliability problem, ie the cause for large standard deviation in side crash test. Consequently, the countermeasure for new USNCAP side crash test is essential to design the effective side structures for side collision and to control well dummy kinematics with curtain and thorax airbag in order to reduce chest and pelvis injuries.
