1. Introduction to JAMA activities■ Name: Japan Automobile Manufacturers Association, Inc. (JAMA) 　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　

■ Established: April 3, 1967

■ Members: 14 companies in the field of automobile manufacturing 　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 (including the manufacture of motorcycles)

■ Organizations related to safety technologies:　 Executive Committee

– Safety and Environmental Technology Committee – Safety Subcommittee

■ Activities: 　 Development of industry common technologies related to safety

　　　　　　・ Accident survey analysis　　　　　・ Testing methods and dummies　　　　　・ Simulation technologies　　　　　・ Harmonization of standards


② Safety measures for the elderly

　 ③ Installation of seatbelt reminder systems, ensuring use of seatbelts in rear seats, etc.

④ Lags in driver recognition and failure to perform maneuvers 　

⑥ Accidents at intersections

⑦ Collisions with structural objects

⑧ Compatibility

Vehicle measures that are in accordance with changes to physical characteristics accompanying aging based on research regarding the mechanisms of the occurrence of bodily injuries; the spread of driving support devices; the promotion of education programs; the further improvement of the rate of wearing seatbelts

① Road accidents involving pedestrians and bicyclists

⑤ Traffic accidents at night

■ In April 2004, JAMA set eight priority safety issues for the next decade.

Studies on vehicle safety technologies

(Following the Traffic Policy Council’s reports)

International harmonization of technical regulations

Cooperation in vehicle assessment activity

▪ Improvement of UN regulations and gtr▪ Harmonization of biofidelic dummies▪ Pole side impact, compatibility, Flex-PLI, etc

▪ Accident research using JAMA drive recorder▪ Pedestrians and bicyclists (studies using biofidelic FEM)▪ Child safety (small-children buses; child restraint systems)▪ Accidents involving large-sized vehicles▪ Safety of electric vehicles▪ Safety of microcompact and personal mobility ▪ ITS road infrastructures▪ Driving positions and manners▪ Traffic information sharing using navigations and IT technologies▪ Anti-drunk driving technologies▪ Collaboration between medical and engineering▪ Further increase of seatbelt usage

▪ Passenger seatbelt reminders▪ Rear passenger’s seatbelt usability▪ Whiplash ▪ Pedestrian protection▪ Rear passenger protection▪ Active safety technology

■ Three activity areas of JAMA



・ Development of new safety technologies

・ Response to assessments

・ Conformity to regulations

・ Development of ASV technologies

Development of safety technologies

Competition

・ Development of testing methods

(Offset frontal impact, pedestrian protection, etc.)

・ Development of dummies (WorldSID, Pedestrian Legform

Impactor, etc.)・ Survey analysis of accidents・ Development of simulation

technologies・ Harmonization of standards

1. Introduction to JAMA Activities


Rear passenger injury assessment method 　　

Testing methods for pedestrian protection

Rear passenger seatbelt reminders

Center console area

Meter area

Ceiling area

Seatback area

FLEX-PLI


Major activities

40% of vehicle width in contact with the barrier

Deformable barrier



Delete the chest G evaluation and set abdomen evaluation criteria (sliding scale)based on the latest engineering.

JAMA proposed the rear passenger injury assessment method of JNCAP in 2009.

Rear passenger injury assessment method

40% of vehicle width in contact with the barrier

Deformable barrier


Center console area

Meter area

Ceiling area

Seatback area

Rear passenger seatbelt reminders


Developed a quantitative assessment method for warning display positions and visual/auditory means of warning

JNCAP started the assessment of rear passenger seatbelt reminders in vehicles from 2011


Testing methods for pedestrian protection

Drafted a test method using Flex-PLI

method into JNCAP from 2011


JAMA believes that NCAP should be one of the major activities to promote vehicle safety technologies.

Support Not support

To promote adoption of safety technologies

To assess items which has been already proven effective by accident analysis, for examples,

・ Side curtain airbags

・ Rear passenger protection assessment

・ Seatbelt reminders

・ Pedestrian leg protection (Flex-PLI)

Meaningless differentiation of safety performance, for examples,

・ Rear passenger seatbelt collarbone dislocation

・ Unique test condition or criteria not considering international harmonization

PS チェック


Make assessment items and test methods identical globally.

Point calculation methods may vary to reflect regional situation.

Reasons: Even the goal to reduce fatalities and injuries is same, different

test methods exist among countries and regions. Different test methods impose heavy development workloads on

automobile manufacturers. If the test methods are unified, test results can be shared

among NCAPs, helping with the growth of NCAPs globally.


Harmonization of NCAPs globally　　

PS チェック



Harmonization of NCAPs globally　　

Harmonize:　■ Test methods (full-lap, offset, side crash, whiplash, pedestrian protection...)　■　 Dummies (Hybrid-III, THOR, ES-2, WorldSID, BioRID II...), barriers, etc.

Many NCAPs have adopted Euro NCAP’s test methods.

Euro NCAP is expected to be the key player of harmonization.

JAMA expects leadership by Euro NCAP to accelerate harmonization among NCAPs.

5. Requests to Euro NCAP concerning test methods
