Occupant response.  The SIDH3 remained upright during the vehicle propulsion stage. The vehicle exited the side-impact monorail and began to slide sideways along the wet concrete runway. The drop off the monorail, coupled with the frictional forces between the tires and the wet runway, slowed the vehicle and induced a vehicle roll angle of 2.4° at impact. The roll angle and vehicle deceleration caused the SIDH3 to lean toward the driver door and make slight contact. The pole intruded into the occupant compartment forward of the dummy’s head and in line with the dummy’s pelvic region. The dummy’s torso was wedged between the seat and intruding door. The dummy’s head continued toward the door and window. The dummy’s head contacted the b-pillar and upper window sill before protruding through the open window (0.030 s). The slip base had activated and the pole had begun to move. The pole movement prevented any direct contact between the pole and the SIDH3's head. As the head protruded out from the window, the face grazed the pole. Yellow and red chalk found on the upper window sill and b-pillar confirmed contact by the top and rear of the SIDH3's head. The femur and shoulder area made contact with the intruding door as anticipated. Orange and purple chalk confirmed the contact. The SIDH3 remained upright in the driver seat after the test. The dummy remained wedged between the collapsed door and bench seat. As shown in table 8, the HIC (71 g’s), TTI (73 g’s), and pelvic injury (127 g’s) values are below the current side-impact safety performance standards specified in FMVSS 214.

Using the techniques outlined in NCHRP Report 350, the lateral OIV was calculated. The lateral OIV is based on vehicle c.g. lateral acceleration data. The computed lateral OIV was 2.3 m/s.
