Résumé
The safety of roadside restraint systems in Europe is ensured by the EN 1317 regulation. The ability of the barrier to mitigate injury to the occupants of vehicles is tested according to two occupant injury metrics: Acceleration Severity Index (ASI) and Theoretical Head Impact Velocity (THIV). Both metrics aim to predict occupant head injury from vehicle kinematics, despite the potential to easily measure actual head kinematics from instrumented Anthropomorphic Test Dummies, a non-instrumented version of which is already required according to the regulation. Retrospective data provided by AISICO S.r.l. for 33 certificated barrier tests, where acceleration of the dummy's head had also been recorded, were re-analysed. ASI and THIV were compared with Head Injury Criterion (HIC
