This 30 mph fiat frontal barrier impact test is part of the Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) 208, 212, 219 (partial), and 301 compliance test program conducted for the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) by the Transportation Research Center of Ohio (TRC) under Contract No. DTNH2 2-90-C- 2100 3. The purpose of this test was to determine if the subject vehicle, a 1991 BMW 318is 2-door sedan, NHTSA No. CM0503, meets the performance requirements of FMVSS 208, "Occupant Crash Protection"; FMVSS 212, "Windshield Mounting"; FMVSS 219 (partial), "Windshield Zone Intrusion"; and FMVSS 301, "Fuel System Integrity," in the flat frontal barrier impact mode.
TEST PROCEDURE
This test was conducted in accordance with NHTSA's Office of Vehicle Safety Compliance (OVSC) Laboratory Test Procedure No. TP-208-08. Data was obtained relative to FMVSS 208, "Occupant Crash Protection"; FMVSS 212, "Windshield Mounting"; FMVSS 219 (partial), "Windshield Zone Intrusion"; and FMVSS 301, "Fuel System Integrity," performance.
The test vehicle was instrumented with seven (7) accelerometers to measure longitudinal axis accelerations. The vehicle's specified impact velocity range was 28.9 to 29.9 mph. The vehicle impacted a flat frontal barrier.
The test vehicle contained two (2) Part 57 2 В 50th percentile adult male anthropomorphic test devices (dummies). The dummies were positioned in the front outboard designated seating positions according to the dummy placement procedure specified in Appendix В and Appendix С of the Laboratory Test Procedure.
Both dummies were instrumented with head and chest accelerometers to measure longitudinal, lateral, and vertical accelerations, and with left and right femur load cells to measure axial forces.
The twenty-three (23) data channels were multiplexed and recorded on a 14-track tape drive. The data was digitally sampled at 8000 samples per second and processed per sections 12.8 and 12.9 of the Laboratory Test Procedure.
The crash event was recorded by one (1) real-time panning motion picture camera and fourteen (14) high-speed motion picture cameras. The pre-test and post-test conditions were recorded by one (1) real-time motion picture camera.
The vehicle and occupant data are summarized in Section 2.0. The FMVSS 208, 212 , 219 (partial) and 301 data are presented in Section 3.0. The vehicle, occupant, and camera measurements are presented in Section 4.0. Appendix A contains the still photographic prints. Appendix В contains the dummy and vehicle data plots.
SECTION 2.0 FRONTAL BARRIER IMPACT TEST SUMMARY
TEST RESULTS SUMMARY
This flat frontal barrier test was conducted at TRC on December 27,
1990 .
The test vehicle, a 1991 BMW 318is 2-door sedan, NHTSA No. CMO503, appeared to comply with the performance requirements of FMVSS test Nos. 212, 219 (partial), and 301 in the flat frontal barrier impact mode. The vehicle's data indicated an apparent noncompliance with the FMVSS test No. 208 requirements. For the Part 572 В dummy seated in the left front outboard designated seating position, the Head Injury Criteria (HIC) calculation was less than 1000 and the compressive forces transmitted through the upper legs did not exceed 2,250 pounds as measured. The chest resultant acceleration exceeded 60 g's. For the Part 572 В dummy seated in the right front outboard designated seating position, the Head Injury Criteria (HIC) calculation was less than 1000, the chest resultant acceleration did not exceed 60 g's and the compressive forces transmitted through the upper legs did not exceed 2,250 pounds as measured. The vehicle's restraint system met the applicable comfort and convenience requirements. The windshield periphery retention was 100 percent. There was no penetration into any portion of the windshield. No fluid spilled from the vehicle's fuel system following the impact. Due to the apparent noncompliance the static rollover test was not conducted.
The test vehicle was equipped with a 1.8 liter, inline engine, manual transmission, and power brakes. The vehicle's test weight was 3169 pounds. The vehicle's impact speed was 29.5 mph. The vehicle's maximum crush was 17.0 inches.
The driver's head injury criteria (HIC) was 431. The driver's maximum chest resultant acceleration over three (3) milliseconds was 61.5 g. The driver's maximum left and right femur forces were 1739 pounds and 2136 pounds, respectively.
The right front passenger's HIC was 227. The right front passenger's maximum chest resultant acceleration over three (3) milliseconds was 35.7 g. The right front passengers maximum left and right femur forces were 473 pounds and 613 pounds, respectively.

There was no loss of windshield periphery retention. There was no intrusion through the windshield.
There was no fluid spillage from the vehicle's fuel system following the crash test event.

DUMMY KINEMATIC SUMMARY
Driver Dummy
Upon impact, the driver dummy translated forward on the seat impacting both knees into the instrument panel. The dummy's head contacted the sunvisor as the dummy's head and chest were restrained by the driver's airbag. The dummy's head rotated forward and then rearward as the dummy rebounded into the seat back. The dummy came to rest seated in the driver's seat.
Right Front Passenger Dummy
Upon impact, the right front passenger dummy translated forward on the seat impacting both knees into the instrument panel. The dummy's head rotated forward, contacting the dummy's chest, as the dummy's torso was restrained by the three-point unibelt. The dummy's head rotated rearward as the dummy rebounded into the seat back. The dummy came to rest seated in the right front passenger's seat, restrained by the three-point unibelt.
