What do crash test ratings mean?

One star means there’s a 40 percent or greater risk, while a five-star rating leaves a less than 10 percent risk. After all of the tests, the crash-test ratings will be calculated and tallied into an overall rating to give cars an overall rating of, say, five stars.

What speed do they do crash tests at?

The crash test, which is conducted with the vehicle seat attached to a moving sled, simulates a rear-end crash about equivalent to a stationary vehicle being struck at 20 mph by a vehicle of the same weight. The key to rear-impact protection is head-restraint design.

What is Honda’s safety rating?

What kind of crash test does Honda do?

In addition to standard barrier tests, the facility tests in situations that simulate actual traffic collisions between vehicles. To supplement these tests, Honda partnered with 3DEXCITE to develop software that results in extremely reliable, accurate, and cost-effective crash simulations.

What are the standards for a crash test?

Crash tests are conducted under rigorous scientific and safety standards. Each crash test is very expensive so the maximum amount of data must be extracted from each test. Usually, this requires the use of high-speed data-acquisition, at least one triaxial accelerometer and a crash test dummy, but often includes more.

How are virtual crash tests different from real crash tests?

To supplement these tests, Honda partnered with 3DEXCITE to develop software that results in extremely reliable, accurate, and cost-effective crash simulations. These simulations are so accurate that the metal deformation from a virtual test and a real test can differ as little as 15mm.
