APPENDIX C

Vehicle Deformation Records

Luminaire Pole Crash Tests

The following figures and tables describe all occupant compartment measurements taken on the test vehicles used in full-scale crash testing herein. MASH defines intrusion as the occupant compartment being deformed and reduced in size with no penetration. Outward deformations, which are denoted as negative numbers within this Appendix, are not considered as crush toward the occupant, and are not subject to evaluation by MASH criteria.
