Becke, M.: Occupants’ load during safety fence collision in the high speed range. 20. EVU Conference, Gratz

The high speed safety fence collisions already presented during the EVU proceeding 2009 here are exclusively presented with regard to the occupants load. It is based on 11 high velocity experiments with a total of 20 collisions. The occurring occupant cell acceleration in longitudinal and lateral direction, the collision-induced speed change of the occupant cell, the collision time and the occupant movement are described and illustrated by video. Due to the extremely long collision times of 0.3 to point 0.8 seconds, a description of the occupant loads with regard to the collision-induced speed change is not suitable.
