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 tobe provided in ISO-MME 1.6 format and needs to be fully compliant with the ISO/TS 13499
standard. It should be noted that some filenames are also prescribed in this document.

1.1

General folder structure
The following structure, generated automatically in the Euro NCAP sharing platform, 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 (4 digits)- 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 2022 with a Euro NCAP internal number of 9999.

The Pedestrian test folder contains 6 sub-test folders. The document, movie, photo, report andstatic folders containing general files from all tests including certification documents, test
temperatures and grid/test point 3D measurements. 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 sub-test consists of the Euro NCAP test number followed by the GRID

Scenario_ LatSpeed_TestSpeed-Run
e.g. LKA_SSL_06D-01
Where:
Scenario → Scenario acronym. In order::4. Scenario type (i.e. LKA or LDW).
5. Underscore ‘_’
6. Lane marking▪ SSL = Single solid line
▪ SDL = Single dashed line
LatSpeed → Specifies the VUT lateral speed and the heading direction i.e.:▪ 06D = 0.6 m/s, driver side
▪ 07P = 0.7 m/s, passenger side
Run → Test run number.

Scenario_ LatSpeed_TestSpeed-Run
e.g. ELK_REN_03D-01
Where:
Scenario → Scenario acronym. In order::1. Scenario type (i.e. ELK).
2. Underscore ‘_’
3. Road edge type
▪ REN = Road edge, no line
▪ REC = Road edge with centre line
▪ RED = Road edge with centre line & dashed line
▪ RES = Road edge with centre line & solid line
LatSpeed → Specifies the VUT lateral speed and the heading direction i.e.:▪ 03D = 0.3 m/s, driver side
▪ 04P = 0.4 m/s, passenger side
Run → Test run number.
c) For ELK oncoming/overtaking tests:
Scenario_ LatSpeed_TestSpeed-Run
e.g. ELK_ONC_06D_72GVT -01
Where:
Scenario → Scenario acronym. In order::1. Scenario type (i.e. ELK).
2. Underscore ‘_’
3. Oncoming / Overtaking▪ ONC = Oncoming▪ OVI = Overtaking intentional▪ OVU = Overtaking unintentional
LatSpeed → Specifies the VUT lateral speed and the heading direction i.e.:▪ 06D = 0.6 m/s, driver side
TestSpeed → Speed of GVT– i.e.:▪ 80GVT = GVT speed 20km/h▪ NVT = Oncoming, no GVT
Run → Test run number.

INJURY CRITERIA CALCULATIONThis chapter describes the calculation for each injury criterion 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 criterion 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. Usually, the loading phase for all dummies in the frontal tests will end at the point intime where the filtered head acceleration Ax crosses zero g after the minimum acceleration peakvalue. This does not apply to the farside occupant-to-occupant test, the loading phase to evaluate
occupant-to-occupant interaction will end when all parts of both dummies are moving outboard.
It is up to the testing authority to confirm and determine the actual end of the loading phase.

VEHICLE CRITERIA CALCULATIONThis chapter describes the calculation for each vehicle criteria used within Euro NCAP, including
the filters that are applied (where applicable) to each channel used in these calculations. The
analysis software used by the Euro NCAP labs will follow these calculations in detail.

4.1

Occupant Load Criterion (OLC)
The calculation for the test vehicle and trolley OLC in the MPDB test is as follows.

4.1.1

The filtered acceleration pulse shall be integrated with the following equation to derive the velocity
course of the barrier:

𝑉𝑡 = ∫ 𝐴𝑋 (𝑡) 𝑑𝑡 + 𝑉0
4.1.2

Where 𝑉0 is the initial velocity at 𝑡 = 0𝑠.

4.1.3

𝑂𝐿𝐶𝑆𝐼−𝑢𝑛𝑖𝑡 , 𝑡1 and 𝑡2 can be calculated with solving the following equation system:
𝑡=𝑡1

∫
𝑡=0
𝑡=𝑡2

∫

𝑡=𝑡1

𝑉0 𝑑𝑡 − ∫𝑉(𝑡) 𝑑𝑡 = 0.065

𝑡=0
𝑡=𝑡2

(𝑉0 − 𝑂𝐿𝐶𝑆𝐼−𝑢𝑛𝑖𝑡 × (𝑡 − 𝑡1 )) 𝑑𝑡 − ∫𝑡=𝑡1

𝑉(𝑡) 𝑑𝑡 = 0.235

𝑡=𝑡1{𝑉0 − 𝑂𝐿𝐶𝑆𝐼−𝑢𝑛𝑖𝑡 × (𝑡2 − 𝑡1 ) = 𝑉(𝑡2 )4.1.4-

Where:
𝑡1 is end of the free-flight-phase of a virtual dummy in vehicle or on the barrier along adisplacement of 0.065m, and𝑡2 is end of the restraining-phase of a virtual dummy in vehicle or on the barrier along adisplacement of 0.235m after the free-flight-phase (i.e. in total 0.300m displacement for thevirtual dummy).

4.1.5

OLC shall be converted from SI units into g (standard gravity) with the conversion factor of 1g =9.81m/s²

TLKA
TLKA means the time where the LKA system of the vehicle intervenes. Activation time isdetermined by the following sequence, based on Yaw Rate during the LSS manoeuvre:
1. Steering robot release is triggered by X position of VUT (green vertical line)
2. Identify when Yaw Rate > 0,4º/s
3. From point 2., start searching backwards until Yaw Rate < 0,1º/s → TLKA (red verticalline)
