1 International Harmonized Research Activities March, 2001 IHRA
Steering Committee Presentation to WP-29
Slide 2
2 Purpose of Briefing n Address the Following Questions: l What
Is IHRA? l How Is IHRA Organized? l What Countries Are Involved in
IHRA? l What Issues Are Being Addressed by IHRA? l How Do I Find
Out More About IHRA? l What Is the Future of IHRA?

3 n International Harmonized Research Activities An
Inter-Governmental Initiative Which Aims to Facilitate Greater
Harmony of Vehicle Safety Policies Through Multi-National
Collaboration in Research. An Inter-Governmental Initiative Which
Aims to Facilitate Greater Harmony of Vehicle Safety Policies
Through Multi-National Collaboration in Research. IHRA

4 International Harmonized Research Activities n Genesis - Dr.
Martinez WP.29 Speech in November 1995 n Reality-15th Enhanced
Safety Of Vehicles Conference - in 1996 n Developed by ESV
Government Focal Points n Address Some of the Major Issues of
Highway Safety By Harmonizing Research Activities n Initial Period:
5 Years
Slide 5
5 What is the ESV Conference? n Conference Sponsored by
Governments n Initially a Forum to Share Research Findings From
Experimental Safety Vehicle Programs n Currently a Technical
Conference on Vehicle Traffic Safety n Opportunity for
International Sharing of Information and Issues n Recognizing
Contributions to the Field of Highway Traffic Safety

Slide 12
12 Biomechanics WG Objectives n Side Impact Initiative l
World-Wide Side Impact Crash Problem l World-Wide Anthropometric
Characterization of Crash Victims for Dummy Definition ( WorldSID
coordination ) l Develop Biofidelic Impact Response Specifications
for Dummy l Develop Crash Test Dummy Evaluation Methodologies l
Identify Meaningful Injury Criteria and Performance Limits n
Frontal Impact Initiative l Repeat Side Impact Tasks for Frontal
Impact Situation
Slide 13
13 Biomechanics WG Progress n Side Impact Initiative: l
Significant Progress in Quantifying World-Wide Side- Impact
Problem, Anthropometric Definitions of Crash Victims, Impact
Requirements for Anthropomorphic Test Devices, and Identifying
Meaningful Injury Criteria and Performance Limits.
Slide 14
14 Advanced Frontal Impact WG - Objectives n Develop
Internationally Agreed Upon Test Procedures Designed to Improve
Occupant Protection in Frontal Crashes
Slide 15
15 Advanced Frontal Impact WG- Progress n Two-stage Approach
Has Been Adopted. n First Stage - Consider Existing Test Procedures
for Frontal Crash Protection l Offset Deformable Barrier Test to
Assess Occupant Protection in a Crash Environment Associated With
Occupant Compartment Intrusion l Full Width Wall Test to Assess
Occupant Protection in a Crash Environment Associated With High
Deceleration n Second Stage - Continue Development of a Test
Procedure That Accounts for Mass and Impact Angle Effects Along
With Compartment Intrusion and Crash Pulse Severity l Discussion
Points Include Vehicle Categories, Type of Barrier, Impact Speed,
Performance Criteria, Air Bag Performance, Impact Angle, and the
use of a Trolley
Slide 16
16 Vehicle Compatibility WG - Objective Vehicle Compatibility
WG - Objective n Improve Occupant Protection by Developing
Internationally Agreed Upon Test Procedures Designed to Improve the
Compatibility of Light Vehicle Structures in Front-to-front and
Front-to-side Impacts
Slide 17
17 Vehicle Compatibility WG - Progress Vehicle Compatibility WG
- Progress n Enhanced Prospects for Improved Frontal Evaluation
Procedures. n Agreed Upon Relevant Aspects Include: l Good
Structural Interaction l Maintaining Occupant Compartment Integrity
l Predictable Structural Performance l Controlling Deceleration
Time Histories
Slide 18
18 Vehicle Compatibility WG - Progress (continued) Vehicle
Compatibility WG - Progress (continued) n Candidate Test Procedures
Include l Full Frontal Barrier Test With Load Cells (Rigid Wall
With or Without a Thin Deformable Element) l Offset Deformable
Barrier (ODB) Test With Load Cells l Overload Test (Passenger
Compartment Integrity) Using ODB l Barrier Elements to Explore
Shear (E.G., The Progressive Deformable Barrier) l Moving
Deformable Barrier Test With Load Cells
Slide 19
19 Side Impact WG - Objective n Review Real World Crash Data n
Coordinate Research Worldwide n Support Development of Future Test
Devices and Test Procedures Including Full System and Component
Tests n Interact With Other WGs n Enhance Side Crash Safety n Form
