Differentiate Side crash as per NHTSA and IIHS

NHTSA's side-impact test represents a vehicle struck on the left side by a 3,015-pound car traveling at 38.5 mph. Such a scenario mimics what could happen if you were hit on the side at an intersection.

The IIHS side-impact test is more severe than NHTSA's. The test uses a heavier striking barrier at 3,300 pounds, compared with NHTSA's at 3,015 pounds. Further, the IIHS barrier strikes higher up on the tested vehicle to simulate a car being hit on the side at 90 degrees by a typical-height SUV or truck. The IIHS bases its scores on head, neck, chest, abdomen, pelvis, and leg injury.

  1. When you mention NHTSA Side crash, you need to be more specific to barrier or pole impact. Barrier impact again is of two kinds for NHTSA - FMVSS 301 Crabbed barrier test at 33.5 mph & SINCAP Barrier test at 38.5 mph !
    Then comes the two oblique pole impact tests - for 5th percentile female and 50th percentile male
