SIDE IMPACT CRASH TEST AND EVALUATION PROCEDURES FOR ROADSIDE STRUCTURES CRASH TESTS. FINAL REPORT

The report contains recommendations for performing and evaluating side impact crash tests of roadside structures like luminaire supports, guardrail terminals, and utility poles. A 50 km/h full broadside test using a small car is recommended. Evaluation criteria include recommendations for structural adequacy, occupant risk, and post collision trajectory. The occupant risk criteria use indices obtained using anthropometric dummy test devices.
