Crash Test 40mph VS 56mph - How Speed Affects the Severity of Crashes

  • New AAA and IIHS crash tests reveal that modest speed increases can have deadly consequences.
    Small speed increases can have huge effects on crash outcomes, as shown in new crash tests by the AAA Foundation for Traffic Safety, the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) and Humanetics. The safety organizations conducted crashes at three different impact speeds (40, 50 and 56 mph). They found the slightly higher speeds were enough to increase the driver's risk of severe injury or death.
    The AAA Foundation collaborated with IIHS and Humanetics to examine how speed affects the likelihood and severity of occupant injury in a crash. Three 2010 Honda CR-V EX crossovers were used because they represented the average age (11.8 years) of a typical vehicle on U.S. roadways and earned the top rating in the IIHS moderate overlap front test.
    As the crash speed increased in the tests, researchers found more structural damage and greater forces on the dummy's entire body.
    "Higher speed limits cancel out the benefits of vehicle safety improvements like airbags and improved structural designs," said Dr. David Harkey, IIHS president. "The faster a driver is going before a crash, the less likely it is that they'll be able to get down to a survivable speed even if they have a chance to brake before impact.
    At the 40 mph impact speed, there was minimal intrusion into the driver's space. But at the 50 mph impact speed, there was noticeable deformation of the driver side door opening, dashboard and foot area. At 56 mph, the vehicle interior was significantly compromised, with the dummy's sensors registering severe neck injuries and a likelihood of fractures to the long bones in the lower leg.
    “Our crash test dummies are instrumented with hundreds of sensors to measure the injury risk so that we understand the scientific limits of safety and injury prevention. Understanding that the risk of serious and permanent injury becomes significantly higher in crashes beyond statutory speed limits clearly demonstrates why there are limits in the first place,” commented Jack Jensen, vice president of engineering at Humanetics.
    At both 50 and 56 mph, the steering wheel's upward movement caused the dummy's head to go through the deployed airbag. This caused the face to smash into the steering wheel. Measurements taken from the dummy showed a high risk of facial fractures and severe brain injury.
    When correctly set and enforced, speed limits improve traffic flow and maximize all public road users' safety.

    Just the energy load from 50 to 56 was enough to buckle a crucial structural component and that basically cause a domino effect. I still don't understand why crash test are only conducted at 35 or 40mph. They NEED to be at least 55mph by now.

      They would all fail. Some cars may not crumple as much but it is the sudden deceleration that kills you, not just the cabin collapsing.
      To succeed in a 55mph crash, they'd need to make the vehicle hood and structure several feet longer, maybe another 3 to 5 feet longer which makes the car too heavy and impractical.

    2014 was the intro year to the small overlap test and marked the catchup of all the companies that weren't already doing in-house testing like Volvo. The cars above are 2010 models. I'd like to see this speed comparison with a newer vehicle that passes with a "good" rating in the moderate and small overlap tests. This will show less floorboard and dashboard intrusion. It will be interesting to see how well it fairs compared to the older cars. PS: Speed kills but it's fun so keep it on the track.
    PS#2. Yeah….I know this is the moderate overlap test. FFS…my point being, apply this speed test to the small overlap tests that 2014+ cars started to pass with flying colors. That test is conducted a 35MPH. I'd like to see it at a more realistic 60MPH.

      Your accident was very different from this one, with much less energy involved in the crash. These crash tests simulate crashing into a vehicle traveling towards you at the same speed. By hitting a stationary vehicle that was then able to roll away, most of the energy of the impact was dissipated by that motion.

    Interesting to see how cars are basically engineered to pass crash tests. At 56 mph the CR-V's actual STRUCTURE collapse past the crumple zone, which almost entirely negates the entire purpose of it. This is kinda important because there are many country roads (undivided roads) where the speed limit is 55-60 (maybe even more), which means a crash like this can occur even without reckless speeding, etc.

    I had just began begging insurance companies and engaging online users on Reddit to advocate for peeling back on speed limits slightly with some kinds of roads in the name of saving lots of lives. The 5 minutes you save by increasing your speed 10mph is not worth the result of a crash turning fatal. The target of my advocation was states in the open west that have 75mph or higher speed limits. That is ridiculous because if you have a hard impact after losing control at that speed no car safety restraint system or crumple design will save you. I was then elated when the US dept of Transportation came out this week with a plan to do just that.

We were all wearing seatbelts and the ditch was pretty shallow, Most of us suffered minor injuries. We we're in a 2018 Subaru Forester that time. Truck driver hit a tree hard and suffered Serious injuries on the head because his Isuzu truck was not equipped with airbags.

    So, if you drive at 65 mph and are able to slow down to 40 mph before crashing. You're good. If you drive at 75 mph and you can only slow down to 56 mph, you're not that good.

    Good demo. Important to know tho, just because you crash *while* going 50, 60, 70+mph, it doesn't mean you IMPACT at that speed at the perfect (worst, perpendicular) angle. Glancing blows and evasive maneuvers bleed tons of G-force away from impact. With the exception of head-on collisions - avoid those at all costs! Swerve into a ditch and flip if you have to, your chances are better.

  • @joaopaulorodriguesdossanto5156

    The 56 mph test is the closest to what a real accident would be on the road, you're traveling 70-80 mph and someone loses control invading your lane, you have 2-3 seconds to brake dropping to 50-60 mph, no my understanding would be more suitable to test cars for speeds like that, and not for 40 mph as is the current standard.

    • @Leuel48Fan
      @Leuel48Fan 3 місяці тому

      But you'll still rarely hit a stationary object at 50-60mph. Say you're doing 80, guy ahead doing 75 loses control and spins out into your lane. You cant miss, but brake down to 60mph when you hit him. But since he's spinning sideways still with forward momentum (let's say at ~30mph, because 4 skidding tires act as a braking force), your net resultant force of impact becomes ~30mph (60-30). Now you're both still traveling so there may be additional impacts with walls/other cars, but it's very rare to his something solid and perpendicular at 50+ mph and come to an immediate dead stop. Except for head-ons on un-divided farm roads, those are dangerous.

    This is a great real-world example of head-on collisions, which are often partial overlap collisions like this. I'm amazed (horrified) at the signficant deterioration of saftey mechanisms when the impact speed is increased just 6mph. This means that if both your car and the car you hit in this scenario are doing 30mph - both drivers are either killed or horribly brain injured / paralysed.

One reason is when you have head on collision, the weight equality and the deformable nature of the vehicle you close in on and hit, takes part of the brunt of energy. Hitting a 400,000 pound stationary metal brick at 60mph is a lot more similar to two cars head on at 60mph than it is two cars at 30mph. The latter is much softer an impact.
