1. utac
Comparison tests on full crash test facility and hyge sled test facility in the frame of Regulation ECE R16

2. utac
Tests parameters
Tests according to the provisions of regulation ECE R16
3 points inertia reel safety belt with load limiter
Comparison on safety belt load and thorax and pelvis excursion

3. Use of 3 different crash test facilities
utac
Use of 3 different crash test facilities
full crash test facility
Sled mass M=1200 kg - Acceleration 50 m et 25 m
full crash test facility with a sandows sled
Sled mass M=400 kg - Acceleration 12 m
hyge sled test facility
Sled mass M=1700 kg

4. utac
Comparison of the maximum Thorax and Pelvis excursion for the 3 tests facilities
full crash test facility hyge sled test facility
full crash test facility with a sandows sled
Acceleration distance: m m m
Sled mass : M=1200 kg M=400 kg M=1700 kg

5. utac
Synthesis
Theorically, there is no difference between the full crash test facility and the hyge sled test facility on the thorax and pelvis displacement and on the load of seat belt.
The ratio dummy mass and sled mass have influence on the results.

6. Conclusion Regulation evolution

Conclusion
Regulation evolution
Let the choice of using the hyge sled test facility
The sled used for testing shall be precised (mass,…)

7. Conclusion First step: Second step:
