TEST DATA
A complete Euro NCAP assessment consists of many tests. To ensure consistency in the generalfolder structure, this chapter details the required folder structure.
For each (sub)test where measurements are performed on dummies, vehicles or other test
equipment, all test data needs to be provided in ISO-MME 1.6 format and needs to be fullycompliant with the ISO/TS 13499 standard. It should be noted that some filenames are alsoprescribed in this document.

1.1

General folder structure
The following structure is to be used for all test series where the name of the main folder containing
all tests consists of:- The year of test
- OEM abbreviation- Euro NCAP internal number- Make and Model
Where Euro NCAP tests contain a number of sub-tests, the next paragraph details the folder
structure, names of the sub-system test folders and where applicable the filenames.
On the highest level, the folder structure is as follows with on the right an example using the
Volvo XC90 that is assumed to be tested in 2020 with a Euro NCAP internal number of 999.

Whiplash sub-test folders
The Whiplash test folder contains 3 sub-test folders. Two contain the dynamic data from the two
dynamic pulses tested; Medium and High. In addition, the static whiplash data is contained in a
separate folder, which also contains the static measurement file. The whiplash test report and thesummary data plot report will be filed in the main Whiplash folder.

Pedestrian sub-test folders
The Pedestrian test folder contains 6 sub-test folders. The document, movie, photo, report andstatic folders containing general files from all tests. The folder test data contains a folder for every
tested point. For each of these pedestrian tests there will be a separate sub-test folder (e.g. A10-5
folder), which needs to contain the channel and picture folders and the MME-file.
The test numbers for each subtest consists of the Euro NCAP test number followed by the GRID
point label.
The test report and the summary data plot report should be in the main report folder where thesummary data plot report should contain all plots of all tests combined in one file called (20-VOL999-PP.pdf).

AEB Pedestrian sub-test folders
The number of sub-test folders in the AEB Pedestrian test folder is depending on the AEB
Pedestrian performance of the vehicle under test. For each speed tested in each scenario there will
be a separate sub-test folder. The AEB Pedestrian test report will be filed in the main AEB
Pedestrian folder.
The test numbers for each subtest consists of the AEB Pedestrian scenario (CPFA, CPNA-25,
CPNA-75, CPNC, CPLA-25, CPLA-50, CPTA, CPRA) followed by the test speed and day ornight (where applicable). Where a certain test speed is repeated three times as per AEB Pedestrian
test protocol, add the repetition number.

INJURY CRITERIA CALCULATIONThis chapter describes the calculation for each injury criteria used within Euro NCAP, including
the filters that are applied to each channel used in these calculations. The analysis software usedby the Euro NCAP labs will follow these calculations in detail.
Euro NCAP’s calculation spreadsheet expects only positive values for the injury criteria used.
Therefore, negative values such as chest compression, the criteria is calculated as the absolutevalue of the minimum.
For all of the calculations and for all of the dummies used, only the loading phase of the crash isconsidered. This does not apply to the farside Occupant-to-Occupant test. Usually the loading
phase for all dummies in the frontal tests will end at the point in time where the filtered headacceleration Ax crosses 0 after the minimum acceleration peak value.
It is up to the testing authority to confirm and determine the actual end of the loading phase.
