TRANSITION TO EURO NCAP:
TRANSITION TO EURO NCAP:
New style of datasheet introduced this yearFor “Euro NCAP pathway” includes full-width barrier test and Safety Assist results
CHANGES TO TESTS FOR 2018 50km/h side impact test with the Advanced European barrier (1300kg).
32km/h oblique (75 degree) pole test that is the basis of a GTR
WorldSID dummy, Q1.5 and Q3 dummies50km/h full width frontal crash test using a small adult female (AF5) dummy for the driver and AF5 in rear seat Q6 & Q10 dummies in rear seat for frontal offset testAlready aligned with pedestrian testsRear seat geometry measured for whiplash assessment
SAFETY ASSIST TECHNOLOGIESThe Euro NCAP Safety Assist assessment includes testing/assessing speed assistance systems (SAS), seat belt reminders (SBR), car-to-car autonomous emergency braking (AEB) and lane support systems (LSS)Euro NCAP is introducing vulnerable road user AEB testing in 2016.Dynamic testing of AEB and LSS require test facilities that are not currently available in Australia
SAFETY ASSIST TECHNOLOGIESSpeed assistance systems strongly encouraged by Euro NCAP protocol
More than 80% of models rated by Euro NCAP in 2015 & 2016 have a manual speed limiter (“reverse cruise control”) and many also know the speed limit (map or sign recognition)
Volvo XC90 awarded full points for SAS - intelligent speed assistance (in Europe only!)
“ISA could, in an overridable form, cut road deaths by 20%”
SAFETY FEATURES

ANCAP is a major factor in the uptake ofthese safety features over this period
