Abstract:This report contains the test procedures followed and test results from a broadside crash test between a Chevrolet C2500 pickup truck and the FOIL instrumented 300K rigid pole. The test was conducted at the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) Federal Outdoor Impact Laboratory (FOIL) located at the Turner-Fairbank Highway Research Center (TFHRC) in McLean, Virginia. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) supplied a calibrated SIDH3 dummy for the test. The target test speed for the test was 50 km/h and the target test weight, including the SIDH3 dummy, was 2,080 kg. The results from a similar test, conducted at 35 km/h, can be found in the report 35-km/h Broadside crash Test of a 1994 Chevrolet C2500 and the FOIL 300K Rigid Pole: FOIL Test Number 97S016. In both tests, the extensive wrap around the 255-mm-diameter rigid pole led to contact between the dummy's head and the rigid pole. The crush profile, electronic data, and high-speed film from these tests will aid computer simulation engineers in developing and validating side-impact finite element models of pickup trucks.
