Test Requirements and Evaluation Criteria for MASH Tests 3-20 and 3-21
Performed Crash Test Matrix
Table 84 shows the test conditions and evaluation criteria for MASH TL-3 for transitions. The target CIPs for each test were determined on the basis of the FE simulations performed in Chapter 13 and using the information provided in MASH Section 2.2.1 and Section 2.3.2. Figure 135 shows the target CIP for MASH TL-3 tests on the multifunctional barrier transition. The crash tests and data analysis procedures were in accordance with guidelines presented in MASH. Chapter 4 presents brief descriptions of these procedures.
Table 84. Test conditions and evaluation criteria specified for MASH TL-3 longitudinal barrier.
| Test Designation | Test Vehicle | Impact Conditions | Evaluation Criteriaa | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Speed (mi/h) | Angle (deg) | |||
| 3-20 | 1100C | 62 | 25 | A, D, F, H, I |
| 3-21 | 2270P | 62 | 25 | A, D, F, H, I |
aDetailed information on the evaluation criteria is given in Table 51 in Chapter 8.
Evaluation Criteria
The appropriate safety evaluation criteria from Tables 2.2 and 5.1 of MASH were used to evaluate the transition crash tests reported herein. Table 84 lists the test conditions and evaluation criteria required for MASH TL-3. Detailed information on the evaluation criteria is given in Table 51 in Chapter 8.
