The report presents the results of two full-scale, head-on collisions between the NHTSA Test Device and 1975 Plymouth Fury four-door sedans. The objective of these tests was to help establish a test methodology for evaluating crash compatibility and aggressiveness. The Test Device is a unique, honeycomb-faced, load-measuring tool which is adaptable to both moving barrier and fixed barrier collisions. Data contained includes graphical and tabular presentations of vehicle deformation, Test Device load cell data, vehicle and simulated occupant acceleration, velocity and displacement values, dynamic displacement of string potentiometers, and restraint survival distances. Also included are tabular summaries of occupant injury criteria, exterior and interior static vehicle deformation, and restraint system loads and vehicle descriptions. Data for a 40-mph fixed Test Device collision is compared to that for an 'equivalent' moving Test Device collision.
