Abstract: To investigate vehicle compatibility is helpful to reducing the casualties and damages in crash
accidents, but the related research in China is far behind that in advanced countries. This paper reviews the
research backgrounds of vehicle crash compatibility and the main influencing factors and introduces recent
progress and the test procedures proposed by the International Harmonized Research Activities Committee
(IHRA), the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) and the Working Group 15 of the European
Enhanced Vehicle Safety Committee (EEVC-WG15). Comparisons of the advantages and disadvantages of
these procedures show that based on the current situation, car-to-truck crash compatibility is most needed to be
studied and solved in China, especially geometry compatibility.

Key words: vehicle safety, vehicle crash compatibility, influence factors, test procedures
