09AEV REV. A <br /> 4 <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />1.0 INTRODUCTION <br /> <br />This report documents two inter-vehicular impact tests conducted <br />for American Emergency Vehicles by General Testing <br />Laboratories. Both tests were conducted using the same AEV <br />Tramahawk Type III Ambulance. <br /> <br />2.0 PURPOSE <br /> <br />The primary purpose of this test program was to simulate typical <br />accidents involving ambulances and to answer questions as to <br />the performance of the following: <br /> <br />1. Determine how well the restraint systems would keep the “EMT <br />CREW” in their seats. <br /> <br />2. The ability of the ambulance body structure and doors to <br />withstand the impacts. <br /> <br />3. If the body mounts would break off or shear during impact. <br /> <br />4. The ability of the interior cabinetry and fixtures to withstand the <br />impact. <br /> <br />3.0 RATIONALE <br /> <br />Based on real life experiences as an ambulance manufacturer, AEV chose <br />to conduct testing with passenger cars striking the sides of the ambulance <br />as being representative of the most common type of accident for this <br />testing program. The test vehicles chosen were a Ford Contour and a <br />Toyota Camry as typical passenger cars in use on the highways and <br />streets. <br /> <br />The following two scenarios were chosen for testing. <br /> <br />TEST 1 (GTL052) <br /> <br />This scenario simulated an ambulance making a left hand turn and being <br />struck by a car coming from the right (“blind”/passenger side) before <br />completing the turn. This places the ambulance at an obtuse angle to the <br />path of the striking vehicle at impact. <br /> <br /> <br />
