KMVSS 102 Side Impact Protection Dynamic Performance Requirement Test Standard

In South Korea, the Motor Vehicle Management Act is to manage motor vehicles efficiently and ensure the performance and safety of motor vehicles by setting issues related to registration, safety standards, self-verification, correction of manufacturing defects, inspection, maintenance, engine testing, and thereby contributing to the promotion of public welfare.

KMVSS 102 Side Impact Protection Dynamic Performance Requirement Test Standard

KMVSS 102 is used to evaluate the performance of passenger cars in side-to-car side collisions. The standard was introduced in stages in 1994 and was applicable to all cars in 1997. It simulates a side-to-car crash from a moving car, where the crashed car is stationary and the bumper car is represented by a deformable barrier.

The test configuration specified by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) is shown. The MDB is retracted to its longitudinal axis at a crab angle of 27. This configuration aims to simulate a striking general vehicle traveling at 48,4 km/h, perpendicular to the side of the crashed vehicle traveling at 24,2 km/h. The crab-angle configuration allows simulation of a two-vehicle side impact, both in motion, using a simplified test method where only one vehicle is in motion.
