CAP1CTR04092 TEST REPORT <br />Advanced <br />Product bjlwt� Purpose <br />A side impact crash test was performed with a Wheeled Coach ambulance to evaluate the <br />vehicle's structural integrity and occupant protection. The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety <br />Side Impact Crashworthiness Evaluation protocol was used as a guideline. <br />Procedure <br />SAE J17331, Sign Convention for Vehicle Crash Testing, was followed during the test. <br />The side impact test was setup with the bullet vehicle's centerline aligned with the fore -aft cg <br />location of the target vehicle. The bullet vehicle was propelled to speed with a trolley and then <br />released, allowing the bullet vehicle to roll and impact the curb side of the target vehicle. Speed <br />of the bullet vehicle was measured just prior to impact using a dual -beam laser speed trap. A thin <br />rod was placed on the bullet vehicle's bumper so that an identifying puncture in the target vehicle <br />would provide post-test evidence to determine the actual impact point. <br />Prior to the test, all fluids were removed from the vehicles. The air conditioning fluid was <br />recovered from each vehicle per EPA requirements. 30.4 gallons (80% capacity) of water was <br />added to the fuel tank of the target vehicle. Vehicle test weights include all dummies, all onboard <br />imagers and lighting, all data acquisition equipment, and any other accessory equipment that was <br />installed prior to conducting the test. The as -tested vehicle weight measurements are shown in <br />Table 1, Target Vehicle Weights, and Table 2, Bullet Vehicle Weights. <br />Table 1, Target Vehicle Weights <br />Component <br />Location <br />Weight <br />Kg <br />Lbs <br />Left <br />7439 <br />1640 <br />Front Axle <br />Right <br />734.8 <br />1620 <br />Total -Front <br />1478.7 <br />3260 <br />Left <br />1832.5 <br />4040 <br />Rear Axle <br />Right <br />1660.1 <br />3660 <br />Total -Rear <br />34927 <br />7700 <br />Complete Vehicle <br />Total <br />4971.4 <br />10,960 <br />Information contained in this document is confidential and may not be transmitted or reproduced, <br />in full or in part, for any purpose without the written consent of CAPE <br />Page 4 of 14 <br />
