Abstract:

A linkage impact test method was designed based on single drag rail to reduce the damages of two-wheeler riders impacting with car. The test method kept two-wheeler’s motion states at different angles and different speeds with an ease driving mechanism powered by compressed air. The trigger time of launch a two-wheeler was controlled by rolling compaction a switch tape of the running car at an accuracy position, it made the impact between two-wheeler and vehicle was in the setting condition. This method can simulate the impact at any sides of car with a two-wheeler, and the position accuracy was less than 25 mm. Therefore, the high-accuracy test capability for the two-wheeler-to-car linkage impact test on single drag rail will prove a basic test method to the research on Vulnerable Road User (VRU) protection technology.

Key words: two-wheelers, vehicles, linkage impact, vulnerable road user (VRU) protection
