摘要：	This report contains the test procedures followed and test results from one crash test between 1997 a Geo Metro and a modified G4(1s) w-beam guardrail barrier. The tests were conducted at the Federal Highway Administration's (FHWA) Federal Outdoor Impact Laboratory (FOIL) located at the Turner- Fairbank Highway Research Center (TFHRC) in McLean, Virginia. The target test speed for the test was 100 km/h and the target test inertial weight was 820 kg. One dummy was placed in the right front seat (struck side of the vehicle) . The dummy weighed 75 kg. The test was conducted to provide data for validating a finite element model (FEM) of a Geo Metro and to investigate the potential for wheel snagging problems with small cars. To date, most tests on standard w-beam guardrail barriers have been with large passenger vehicles and pickup trucks to test the strength of these guardrail systems. The results indicate that, although there was minor wheel snagging, the modified G4 (1s) guardrail barrier met the safety performance criteria outlined in National Cooperative Research Program (NCHRP) Report 350, test designation 3-10. The data and high-speed film coverage will aid in the development and validation of the Geo Metro FEM.
