The speed time history which will be used in the test procedure described in Annex 7 shall be obtained from the longitudinal accelerometer at the ‘B’ pillar on the struck side. ANNEX 4 Determination of performance criteria 1. HEAD PERFORMANCE CRITERION (HPC) 1.1. This criterion is considered to be satisfied when, during the test, there is no contact between the head and any vehicle component. If that is not the case, a calculation of the value of HPC is made, on the basis of the acceleration (a), measured according to paragraph 5.2.1 of Annex 3, by the following expression: Text von Bild HPC = (t2 – t1) [1 t2 – t1 t2∫t1 adt]2.5 in which: 1.2.1. the term ‘a’ is the resultant acceleration measured according to paragraph 5.2.1. of Annex 3 and is measured in units of gravity, g (1 g = 9,81 m/s2); 1.2.2. if the beginning of the head contact can be determined satisfactorily, t1 and t2 are the two time instants, expressed in seconds, defining an interval between the beginning of the head contact and the end of the recording for which the value of HPC is maximum; 1.2.3. if the beginning of the head contact cannot be determined, t1 and t2 are the two time instants, expressed in seconds, defining a time interval between the beginning and the end of the recording for which the value of HPC is maximum; 1.2.4. Values of HPC for which the time interval (t1 - t2) is greater than 36 ms are ignored for the purposes of calculating the maximum value. 1.3. The value of the resultant head acceleration during forward impact which is exceeded for 3 ms cumulatively is calculated from the resultant head acceleration measured according to paragraph 5.2.1 of Annex 3. 2. NECK INJURY CRITERIA (NIC) 2.1. These criteria are determined by the compressive axial force, the axial tensile force and the fore/aft shear forces at the head/neck interface, expressed in kN and measured according to paragraph 5.2.2 of Annex 3 and by the duration of these forces expressed in ms. 2.2. The neck bending moment criterion is determined by the bending moment, expressed in Nm, about a lateral axis at the head/neck interface and measured according to paragraph 5.2.2 of Annex 3. 2.3. The neck flexion bending moment, expressed in Nm, shall be recorded. 3. THORAX COMPRESSION CRITERION (ThCC) AND VISCOUS CRITERION (V * C) 3.1. The thorax compression criterion is determined by the absolute value of the thorax deformation, expressed in mm and measured according to paragraph 5.2.3 of Annex 3. 3.2. The viscous criterion (V * C) is calculated as the instantaneous product of the compression and the rate of deflection of the sternum, measured according to paragraph 6 and also paragraph 5.2.3 of Annex 3. 4. FEMUR FORCE CRITERION (FFC) 4.1. This criterion is determined by the compression load expressed in kN, transmitted axially on each femur of the dummy and measured according to paragraph 5.2.4 of Annex 3 and by the duration of the compressive load expressed in ms. 5. TIBIA COMPRESSIVE FORCE CRITERION (TCFC) AND TIBIA INDEX (TI) 5.1. The tibia compressive force criterion is determined by the compressive load (Fz) expressed in kN, transmitted axially on each tibia of the dummy and measured according to paragraph 5.2.4 of Annex 3. 5.2. The tibia index is calculated on the basis of the bending moments (Mx and My) measured according to paragraph 5.1 by the following expression: where: Mx = bending moment about the x axis My = bending moment about the y axis (Mc)R = critical bending moment and shall be taken to be 225 Nm Fz = compressive axial force in the z direction (Fc)z = critical compressive force in the z direction and shall be taken to be 35,9 kN and MR = . The tibia index is calculated for the top and the bottom of each tibia; however, F z may be measured at either location. The value obtained is used for the top and bottom TI calculations. Moments Mx and My are both measured separately at both locations. 6. PROCEDURE FOR CALCULATING THE VISCOUS CRITERIA (V * C) FOR HYBRID III DUMMY 6.1. The viscous criterion is calculated as the instantaneous product of the compression and the rate of deflection of the sternum. Both are derived from the measurement of sternum deflection. 6.2. The sternum deflection response is filtered once at CFC 180. The compression at time t is calculated from this filtered signal as: Text von Bild C(t) = D(t) 0.229 The sternum deflection velocity at time t is calculated from the filtered deflection as: Text von Bild V(t) = 8 (D(t+1) - D(t-1)) - (D(t+2) - D(t-2)) 12∂t where D(t) is the deflection at time t in metres and ∂t is the time interval in seconds between the measurements of deflection. The maximum value of ∂t shall be 1,25 x 10-4 seconds. This calculation procedure is shown diagrammatically below: Measured Deflection D(t) Filter at CFC 180 Calculate deflection velocity V(t) Calculate compression C(t) Calculate viscous criterion at time t (V*C)(t) = 1,3 x (V(t) x C(t)) Determine the maximum value of (V*C)(MAX) = max [(V*C)(t)] ANNEX 5 Arrangement and installation of dummies and adjustment of restraint systems 1.

Driver The plane of symmetry of the dummy shall lie in the vertical plane passing through the steering wheel centre and parallel to the longitudinal median plane of the vehicle. If the seating position is determined by the shape of the bench, such seat shall be regarded as a separate seat. 1.2.2. Outer passenger The plane of symmetry of the dummy shall be symmetrical with that of the driver dummy relative to the longitudinal median plane of the vehicle. If the seating position is determined by the shape of the bench, such seat shall be regarded as a separate seat. 1.3.

INSTALLATION OF DUMMIES 2.1. Head The transverse instrumentation platform of the head shall be horizontal within 2,5°. To level the head of the test dummy in vehicles with upright seats with non-adjustable backs, the following sequences must be followed. First adjust the position of the ‘H’ point within the limits set forth in paragraph 2.4.3.1 to level the transverse instrumentation platform of the head of the test dummy. If the transverse instrumentation platform of the head is still not level, then adjust the pelvic angle of the test dummy within the limits provided in paragraph 2.4.3.2. If the transverse instrumentation platform of the head is still not level, then adjust the neck bracket of the test dummy the minimum amount necessary to ensure that the transverse instrumentation platform of the head is horizontal within 2,5°. 2.2. Arms 2.2.1. The driver’s upper arms shall be adjacent to the torso with the centrelines as close to a vertical plane as possible. 2.2.2. The passenger’s upper arms shall be in contact with the seat back and the sides of the torso. 2.3. Hands 2.3.1. The palms of the driver test dummy shall be in contact with the outer part of the steering wheel rim at the rim’s horizontal centreline. The thumbs shall be over the steering wheel rim and shall be lightly taped to the steering wheel rim so that if the hand of the test dummy is pushed upward by a force of not less than 9 N and not more than 22N, the tape shall release the hand from the steering wheel rim. 2.3.2. The palms of the passenger test dummy shall be in contact with outside of thigh. The little finger shall be in contact with the seat cushion. 2.4. Torso 2.4.1. In vehicles equipped with bench seats, the upper torso of the driver and passenger test dummies shall rest against the seat-
