At the beginning of 2121, a sudden epidemic caused the world to press the pause button. Tourism, import, catering and manufacturing all suffered from Waterloo, and even automobile safety crash tests in various countries announced their suspension.
subsequently, with the concerted efforts of people all over the world, the epidemic situation was gradually controlled, and the original order was gradually restored in various places. For example, China Automobile Research Institute recently held the 2121i-VISTA Autopilot Challenge and the upcoming biennial Beijing Auto Show.
the European automobile industry has also stepped up its speed recovery from time to time, which means that the European NCAP, which was suspended for half a year, restarted its testing.
On September 6th, NCAP Europe released the first vehicle crash results based on the 2121 version of the regulations, and Toyota Yaris won five stars.
the biggest difference between the 2121 version of European NCAP and the old version is that the 64km/h frontal 41% offset impact test (OBD) which has been implemented for many years is changed to the moving deformable barrier offset impact (MPDB).
the offset collision of moving deformable barrier means that the test vehicle is driven by? 51? km/h? The speed and? 51%? Is the overlap rate heading for installation on the oncoming? 1411? kg? The deformable barrier on the trolley, the barrier car also uses? 51? km/h? Drive in the opposite direction
the barrier represents the front end of the opposite car, and the more deformed it is, the harder it becomes. This test reproduces the collision between the test vehicle and a typical medium-sized family car.
generally speaking, there are four major differences between MPDB and OBD: different obstacle cars, different relative speeds (the relative speed of MPDB reaches 111km/h), different dummies and different evaluation indexes (compatibility evaluation is added to MPDB).
judging from the crash results, Toyota Yaris performed stably in the MPDB test, and there was no deformation in the passenger compartment, so the protection of the driver's chest and legs was rated as passing.
in the compatibility evaluation, Toyota Yaris has suitable weight and good front-end structure, so that it will not put the occupants of the collision vehicle at high risk in this test.
in another far-end collision, Toyota Yaris is equipped with a central airbag, which can well prevent the collision between two occupants in the front seat.
According to statistics, side collision accidents account for about 31% of all collision accidents (second only to frontal collision accidents), and the injuries caused by far-end side collision account for 31% of all side collision injuries.
It can be seen that the central airbag has a very good protective effect on the left and right drivers and passengers in the far-end side impact.
in terms of pedestrian protection, the hood of Toyota Yaris can provide a good or sufficient protection for pedestrians who have been hit, but there are also some shortcomings, such as some poor results in the windshield area.
In terms of active safety, Toyota Yaris is equipped with AEB automatic emergency braking system, which can detect pedestrians and cyclists at a certain speed. In the related tests, the system responded quickly, and in most cases, the collision was avoided or alleviated.
in addition, Toyota Yaris is equipped with BMS driver monitoring system, LDW lane departure assistance system, etc. The former can monitor whether the driver is in the state of being distracted and tired, and the latter can give an early warning and intervene in the steering system when the car deviates.
written at the end:
On the whole, under the blessing of TNGA architecture, Toyota Yaris performed well in the crash test, and it passed the test perfectly regardless of the newly introduced mobile deformable barrier offset collision or the far-end side collision. On the other hand, Yaris's rich active safety configuration and passive safety configuration can provide a better protection for drivers and pedestrians.
