Vehicle impacts with fixed roadside structures, such as poles, constitute a significant portion of road fatalities in North America. The purpose of this study was to evaluate occupant response in pole crash scenarios for varying offsets, and to compare the current occupant-based metrics with vehicle-based. A Hybrid III ATD was integrated with a mid-size sedan equipped with seatbelts and airbag. Impacts with deformable and rigid poles were investigated. The predicted response was higher for the rigid pole, and varied significantly with offset from the vehicle centreline.
