• Lateral Impact

Side impacts account for around a quarter of all crashes and, since it started, Euro NCAP has performed tests on the driver’s side of the car.  Almost half of occupants injured in side impacts are on the opposite side to the one that is struck.  Such accidents can give rise to serious injuries, depending on the extent to which the driver moves sideways in the impact and whether another occupant is sitting in the passenger seat.

In a Side impact, the occupants on both the struck (near) side and on the opposite (far) side of the vehicle are at risk of injury

Some car manufacturers are now addressing these ‘far-side’ impacts and are introducing countermeasures to mitigate injuries in such accidents.  Generally, these are in the form of a centre airbag which deploys vertically between the two front occupants to limit the excursion of the far-side occupant and to provide protection from impact between two front seat occupants.

Where vehicles are equipped with a countermeasure (for example a centre airbag), Euro NCAP will install two front seat occupants in the full-scale side pole tests to demonstrate that the proposed solution works robustly, that it is effective for impacts from both sides of the car, and that it mitigates interaction between the front seat occupants.  Vehicles without a countermeasure will have only one dummy in the full-scale tests.

Counter-measures – mostly centre airbags – provide protection from impact between two front seat occupants

Additional tests are also performed on a complete vehicle body attached to a sled, regardless of the fitment of a counter-measure.  The sled replicates the accelerations experienced by the vehicle in the side and pole tests, exposing a single dummy, seated on the far-side, to similar conditions as those of the full-scale tests.  In both sled tests, the ‘excursion’ of the dummy - the extent to which the dummy moves towards the impacted side of the vehicle - is measured.  At the same time, the dummy itself measures forces and decelerations, most importantly in the head and neck but also in the chest and abdomen, and a score is calculated from these measurements.  Depending on the excursion, the car can score anything from full points, for very limited excursion, to no points, where the excursion is extreme.

NHTSA Announces Model Year 2023 Vehicles To Be Included in 5-Star Safety Ratings Tests

January 12, 2023 | Washington, DC

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration announced its list of model year 2023 vehicles for crash testing as part of the agency’s 5-Star Safety Ratings system under its New Car Assessment Program. 

These vehicles represent approximately 86% of the new vehicle fleet, a broad cross section that will help consumers make purchasing decisions about the vehicles that best fit their needs. 

NHTSA’s New Car Assessment Program, the government’s premier consumer information program for evaluating vehicle safety, crash tests new vehicles and rates them on how well they protect occupants in frontal, side and rollover crashes. Results from these tests are compiled into a rating of one to five stars, with five stars being the highest.

“Safety is at the heart of everything we do at NHTSA. Our 5-Star Safety Ratings system gives Americans the information they need to consider safety performance in their vehicle choice,” said Ann Carlson, NHTSA’s Acting Administrator. “The program also helps reduce injuries and deaths by spurring vehicle manufacturers to incorporate vehicle safety technologies more broadly in more makes and models.”

The vehicle safety ratings are displayed on the window sticker of new cars, and manufacturers routinely use them in advertising.

NHTSA also announced the list of vehicles it will test to verify the performance of certain Advanced Driver Assistance Systems. The technologies for evaluation are lane departure warning, forward collision warning, crash imminent braking and dynamic brake support.

NHTSA is working to finalize the significant safety updates the agency proposed in March 2022 to its 5-Star Safety Ratings program. The proposed updates included expanded testing of ADAS and a 10-year roadmap for future NCAP updates. These improvements are part of the Biden-Harris Administration’s efforts to improve safety on our nation’s roads and will help fulfill requirements included in the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, as well as the Department’s National Roadway Safety Strategy .
