Abstract:This report documents the full-scale side impact test of a 1980 Plymouth Champ impacting into a breakaway luminaire support. The impact speed was 30 mph and the impact angle was broadside with the impact point aligned with the driver's shoulder. The impacted pole was a slip-base-mounted steel unit with mast arm and luminaire. Although the pole did break away with a low change in velocity of the vehicle, severe intrusion of the pole into the passenger compartment provided for a severe accident. Most dummy related parameters produced outputs which exceeded the recommended levels.
