  • Development of Pedestrian Protection for the Qoros 3 Sedan
    13th International LS-DYNA Users Conference Session: Occupant Safety Development of Pedestrian Protection for the Qoros 3 Sedan Niclas Brannberg, Pere Fonts, Chenhui Huang, Andy Piper, Roger Malkusson Qoros Automotive Co., Ltd. 15/F HSBC Building IFC, No 8. Century Avenue Shanghai 200120, P.R. China Abstract Pedestrian protection has become an important part of the Euro NCAP consumer test and to achieve a 5-star rating for crash safety, a good rating for the different pedestrian load cases is imperative. It was decided at the very start of the Qoros 3 Sedan’s development program that this should be made a priority. A skilled team of safety engineers defined the layout of the vehicle to support this target, and an extensive simulation program using LS-DYNA® was planned to define and validate the design intent without compromising the design of the vehicle as well as maintaining all other important vehicle functions. This paper will provide an insight into part of the journey taken to establish a new vehicle brand in China, fulfilling high European safety standards at an affordable cost, and how Qoros succeeded in this mission with a combination of skills, extensive CAE analysis and finally the validation of the recipe during physical testing. The paper will highlight how the high rating for pedestrian protection was obtained and give a short overview of the complete safety development of the Qoros 3 Sedan. Introduction This paper introduces Qoros and the development of the first vehicle on Qoros’ new compact-segment platform, the Qoros 3 Sedan. It is difficult to present a whole vehicle development in one paper so this text focuses on pedestrian protection as the main topic and will discuss how the rating for pedestrian protection was obtained in the Euro NCAP test as well as discussing some areas where difficulties were encountered with the initial assessment using CAE.
