This report contains the test procedures, test setup, and test results from a one vehicle crash test conducted at the Federal Outdoor Impact Laboratory (FOIL) located a the Turner-Fairbank Highway Research Center (TFHRC) in McLean Virginia. The crash test was set up and conducted in accordance with National Cooperative Highway Research Program (NCHRP) Report Number 350, test designation 3-30. The test conducted involved the breakaway cable terminal (BCT) and a Ford Festiva traveling at 100 km/h. In addition to the instrumentation outlined in NCHRP 350, several transducers were added to provide computer simulation engineers with data from certain vehicle components. The component transducers were affixed to the vehicle in accordance with Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) 208. The results from this test showed a marginal level of safety performance and provided data to the computer simulation engineers to aid in the development and validation of the BCT finite element model (FEM). |
