Euro NCAP / ANCAP: MPDB Frontal Impact

Assessment Procedure:
MPDB/XT-ADAC
1. Calculation of points for each measured criterion
( p. 34) ①: 1400 kg
Where a value falls between the higher ② and lower
③ performance limit, the score is calculated by linear
0°, 50 %
interpolation. The maximum score is 4 points. Exceeding 50 km/h
the capping limit ④ leads to loss of all points related to
that tests.
2. Calculation of points for each body region ⑤:  mm
150
The lowest scoring criterion is used to determine the 
performance of each region. 50 km/h
There are four body regions:
„ Head and neck
„ Chest and abdomen
„ Pelvis, femur and knee
„ Lower leg and foot
THOR Hybrid III
The Modifiers ⑥ are deducted from the body region
3.
score. 50 % 50 %
4. Calculation of point for the test:
For each body region the lowest score of driver ⑦
or passenger ⑧ is used to determine the score. The
Q6 Q10
maximum score for the test is 16 points.
5. When a door opens in the test, a minus one-point
modifier for each opening door will be applied to the
score for that test.
6. The Compatibility assessment ( page 36) comprises:
„ Homgenity of barrier deformation ⑨
„ Barrier bottoming out ⑩
„ Occupant Load Criterion OLC ⑪ Protocols
It is applied as a modifier ⑫ to the total test score. The Testing MPDB Testing Protocol Version 1.1.1
dedcution is limited to 8 points. In 2020 and 2021 the
deduction is halved and limited to 4 points. Assessment Assessment Protocol AOP Version 9.1.1
7. For the overall rating ( page 46) the score of the Dummy Technical Bulletin 026 Version 1.0
MPDB test is scaled by a factor of 0.5, i. e. a maximum of Barrier Technical Bulletin 022 Version 1.2
8 points is available.
