AutoBeta(AutoBeta.net)05/19 Report--

The new car safety collision test of China Automotive Research C-NCAP has a certain reference in the industry, but its collision results have been questioned by the outside world more than once. from its published collision results, the situation of five-star evaluation is in the majority, and even called "five-star wholesale department" by many netizens, the main reason is that the collision standard is relatively low. The biggest controversy is that SAIC-Volkswagen Passat got a five-star safety rating in C-NCAP, but Passat failed miserably in the C-IASI of China Insurance Research.

Recently, China Automotive Research C-NCAP announced that it will update collision standards and rules to further promote the content of collision assessment procedures to be more collaborative, more efficient, and better serve the automotive industry and consumers.

Some netizens think that it may be to get rid of the notoriety of the five Star Wholesale Department. Another netizen commented, "it's a complete joke!"

According to the official introduction, the C-NCAP Management rules will be upgraded from 2018 to 2021, mainly with the following new / revised changes-

Occupant protection part: 1. The frontal 50% overlapping moving progressive deformation barrier collision test and evaluation method is added to replace the frontal 40% overlapping deformable barrier collision test and evaluation method; according to the C-NCAP test procedure, the test vehicle and the MPDB trolley collide with each other at the speed of 50km/h, and the collision overlap width between the test vehicle and the MPDB trolley should be within 50% wide range. (the most important change)

two。 For new energy vehicles, the side column impact test and evaluation method are added to replace the side impact test and evaluation of deformable mobile barrier.

3. Increased the number of dummies carried in the side impact test of deformable mobile barrier

4. The whipping test and evaluation method of the second row of outer seats are added.

5. The second row child occupant protection evaluation method and the static evaluation method of child occupant protection are added.

6. Revised the technical requirements for adding points to the side air curtain.

7. Added technical requirements for additional points for accident emergency call system

8. The seatbelt warning device was changed from an additional item to a penalty item.

9. The electrical safety evaluation method in occupant protection test is modified.

Pedestrian protection part: 1. The pedestrian protection test and evaluation method is modified, and the advanced pedestrian leg type (Advanced Pedestrian LegformImpactor,aPLI) is used to replace the traditional FLEX-PLI and TRL upper leg type to evaluate pedestrian leg collision protection. 2. The test area of pedestrian protection head is expanded.

Active security part: 1. Added the vehicle automatic emergency braking system (AEB) test project; 2. The test and evaluation method of lane maintenance assistance system (LKA) is added. Added to the lane departure warning system (LDW), blind area monitoring system (BSD), speed assistance system (SAS) audit projects and technical requirements; 4. The test and evaluation methods of vehicle lighting performance are added.

Others: 1. The grading system has been modified, and the active safety weight has been increased from 15% to 25%. The C-NCAP Management rules (2021 version) will be formally implemented on January 1, 2022.

China Automobile Research Institute said: in the future, cars will continue to move forward from "zero death" to "zero casualties" and then to the ultimate goal of "zero accidents". With the continuous development of vehicle safety technology, automobile safety will eventually enter a new level. C-NCAP will, as always, lead China's automobile safety technology to achieve new goals, and hopes to continue to receive long-term support and help from all sides in the future.

In fact, the CAPP'50% overlap moving progressive deformation wall barrier collision test', due to the large collision contact area, tests the front strength, and its harshness can not catch up with the front 25% offset collision test, which tests the strength of the overall car body structure.

In fact, the bigger problem facing China Auto Research C-NCAP is "credibility". After all, the name "five-Star Wholesale Department" is not obtained casually, and once the credibility is gone, there is little significance for existence.
