European Enhanced Vehicle-safety Committee Cost estimation for UK Developing an European Interior Headform Test Procedure T. Langner on behalf of EEVC WG 13 19 th International Technical Conference High: Providing a level of side impact protection required by the current Regulation 95 on Enhanced Safety of Vehicles Low: Upgrading a Regulation 95 compliant vehicle that also achieved a maximum score within the Euro NCAP side impact test (2008 protocol). Base: Vehicle that meets the current requirements of Regulation 95, achieves 13 points (from a total of 18 available) in the Euro NCAP side impact test (2008 protocol), with airbags providing thorax protection, but not side head protection.

European Enhanced Vehicle-safety Committee Cost estimation for UK Developing an European Interior - The costs were estimated for. Test upgrading a vehicle within its Headform Procedure Result: scheduled design cycle. - 2004, NHTSA published an economic assessment of adding T. Langner on behalf of an oblique pole and estimated compliance costs of between EEVC WG 13 € 64 and € 203. These costs only included part costs because it was assumed that other costs, such as those for structural 19 thpadding International Technical changes, and packaging, would Conference be subsumed in ongoing vehicle redesign costs. on Enhanced Safety of Vehicles Washington D.

European Enhanced Vehicle-safety Committee Cost / benefit estimation for UK Developing an European Interior Headform Test Procedure T. Langner on behalf of EEVC WG 13 The benefits estimations represent a conservative (or even ‘worst case’) estimate. The costs have been calculated depending on the safety performance level of the vehicle and are full costs. Hence, it is recommended that a comparison of the absolute values of the benefits and costs should not be made because it could well be misleading. However, a comparison of the relative values of the benefits and costs BETWEEN THE OPTIONS should be meaningful because the benefits and costs have been derived in a consistent manner and hence can be used with a reasonable degree of confidence. 19 th International Technical Conference on Enhanced Safety of Vehicles Result: Washington D.
