Abstract: This article presents an executed frontal small overlap crash test of two vehicles moving at a speed of approximately 43 km/h with the emphasis on the resulting crash parameters for application in traffic accident analyses. The experimentally measured data from the crash test were suitably analyzed and important crash parameters were obtained and applied in impact modelling by a simulation program, which is used to analyse traffic accidents.
