Résumé / Abstract
This paper presents the analysis of experimental crash program between small or large car and truck in order to characterize the effect of a front underrun protection device (fupd) coupled with closing speed and overlap on mechanical and biomechanical characteristics. This device has been developped in order to improve the geometrical compatibility between cars and trucks in head-on collisions.
