| Abstract | This guide documents the format of magnetic media (3.5 inch high density diskettes) to be submitted to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) for SWG tests. This guide is designated Volume IV. NHTSA Data Reference Guide (Signal Waveform Generator Database). Three other volumes exist; they correspond to the other NHTSA databases: I. NHTSA Data Reference Guide (Vehicle), II. NHTSA Data Reference Guide (Biomechanics), III. NHTSA Data Reference Guide (Component). While the four databases are similar, they differ significantly as well. Your data submission will be returned as unacceptable if you submit data in the wrong format for a particular database. The first step in creating a data submission is to determine which volume of the guide (vehicle crash tests, biomechanics tests, component tests, or signal waveform generator tests) to use. The surest method of determining which volume is appropriate for your use is to check with the Contracting Officer’s Technical Representative (COTR) who should be able to identify the appropriate database format. The following guidelines will help to explain the differences between the four databases. Information in the vehicle database relates to the performance and response of vehicles and other structures in impacts. The biomechanics database contains information used (1) to evaluate human impact response, (2) to evaluate prototype dummy designs, or (3) to evaluate standard dummy designs in new impact environments. A component test identifies a specific vehicle component and/or dummy part and summarizes test conditions. Component tests are conducted on various internal or external components of automobiles to provide force deflection or time series data for use in computer simulation models available to NHTSA. Information in the signal waveform generator database relates to the evaluation of data acquisition systems at sites performing vehicle crash and biomechanics tests. A biomechanics test always has exactly one occupant; a vehicle test may have zero occupants or many occupants but normally utilizes dummy occupants. Raw data meeting the requirements of SAE J211/1 MAR 95, CFC 1000 is required unless submission of filtered data is authorized by the Contracting Officer’s Technical Representative (COTR). |
