ABSTRACT (Maximum 200 words) This report summarizes the approach, activities, and results of a study to evaluate the potential safety benefits of Plastics and Composites Intensive Vehicles (PCIVs), to enable their deployment by 2020. The main goals were to review and assess the state of knowledge in order to identify gaps, key research needs, and the challenges and opportunities for safety enhancements. PCIV- related safety enhancements that could benefit an aging driver population were selected as a priority research focus. The Situation Analysis was conducted, based on a review of technical literature, national research efforts on automotive light-weighting and the crash safety performance of advanced materials, complemented by a focused survey of diverse subject matter experts. The analysis identified near-term, midterm, and long-term research needs and priorities to facilitate future PCIV deployment. A PCIV Safety Roadmap was developed, which synthesizes the study findings and outlines follow-on research and milestones to measure progress towards the design, development and technology integration of fuel-efficient and safe PCIVs by 2020. 14.

In November 2005, the American Plastics Council, in cooperation with NHTSA, sponsored a Technology Integration Workshop on “Enhancing Future Automotive Safety With Plastics,” and published its findings in a Technology Integration Report in May 2006. The major opportunities and challenges for enhancing the safety of next generation vehicles using advanced plastics and composite materials in structural and safety applications were identified, as well as the need to develop a safety roadmap. The FY06 Transportation Appropriations Senate Report 109-109 provided both the resources and the guidance to NHTSA to explore the potential safety benefits of light-weight, fuel efficient Plastics and Composites Intensive Vehicles (PCIVs), and develop the foundation for research cooperation with the Department of Energy, industry, universities and other safety stakeholders. NHTSA tasked the Volpe Center to assess the current state of knowledge and emerging safety technology opportunities to enhance the crash safety of PCIVs by 2020, with special emphasis on improved protection of older drivers and occupants. This report summarizes the results of a foundational study undertaken in support of NHTSA to identify the research needs and priorities in the near-, mid-, and long-term, as well as the challenges and opportunities to the development and commercial deployment of light-weight, plastics-rich, and fuel efficient vehicles by 2020 that would be designed to comply with all applicable crash safety standards and regulatory requirements. Taking an international and national perspective, the Volpe Center reviewed relevant literature, interviewed subject matter experts and ongoing research, developed a PCIV 2020 safety Vision, and identified the major R&D needs, challenges, and opportunities to develop a roadmap for PCIV safety. The primary author of the report is Dr. Aviva Brecher, Principal Investigator, with technical support from Dr. John Brewer, as the expert on materials science, composites testing standards, and vehicle crash safety. Other Volpe Center managers and colleagues who contributed to many aspects of this study and provided technical review and quality assurance include: Kevin Green, Chief of Advanced Safety Technology Division; Dr. Wassim Najm for issues related to NHTSA integrated safety technologies and strategy; Samuel Toma and Emily Lumley for assistance with graphics, report formatting, and organization; and John O’Donnell, Director, and Robert Dorer, Deputy Director, Office of Surface Transportation, for their continued support and guidance. Special appreciation is due to Dr. William Thomas Hollowell, NHTSA Director of Vehicle Safety Research, and Sanjay Patel, NHTSA project manager, for their effective oversight and timely review. Dr. David Smith, Chief, Structures and Restraints Research Division, and Barbara Hennessey, manager of the Hydrogen Vehicle Safety Research Program are thanked for providing technical support, feedback, and guidance as needed. Thanks are due to all NHTSA regulatory, policy, and technical staff who conducted an agency-wide review and provided helpful comments to improve this report. A SAFETY ROADMAP FOR FUTURE PLASTICS AND COMPOSITES INTENSIVE VEHICLES iv PREFACE AND ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS The American Chemistry Council- Plastics Division (ACC-PD) industry partners supported this safety-oriented study with insights from previous technology integration roadmaps, and provided technical review comments and inputs throughout the process. They are Dr. Michael Fisher, Technical Director, Mr. James Kolb, Communications Director of the Automotive Center, and Ms. Suzanne Cole, President of Cole and Associates, Inc. The Volpe team made several presentations to NHTSA and ACC-PD collaborators and engaged them in regular telephone conferences to obtain feedback. Valuable inputs are gratefully acknowledged from the Department of Energy (DOE) managers of the FreedomCAR partnership, the DOE National Laboratories Research program managers, the industry principals involved in cooperative USCAR R&D efforts, and Subject Matter Experts (SMEs) from professional, standards, and trade associations, industry, and academia.

    Vehicle Technology ENABLING A BETTER AUTOMOTIVE WORLD 150 Stephenson Hwy, Troy, MI 48083 ph(248) 619-8300 www.valeo.com The new technologies presented today by Valeo confirm the appropriateness of the company’s strategy to develop global solutions which improve safety, comfort and driving pleasure while at the same time reducing fuel consumption and pollutant emissions. 2 StARS Micro-hybrid 3 StARS starter alternator Opportunity to reduce fuel consumption in city driving by up to 15%, without making any radical changes to the engine architecture. The reduction of fuel consumption, greenhouse gases and pollutant emissions is one of the major challenges that the automotive industry faces today. Automakers are making massive R&D investments in a bid to improve the efficiency of their engines. But progress is only made in small steps. Since, in city driving, vehicles are at a standstill for almost 35% of the time, during which the engine idles needlessly, the benefits of the Stop-Start system are quite obvious. This system switches off the engine when the vehicle stops, at a traffic light, for example, and starts it up again as soon as the driver asks for power. Valeo’s StARS solution (Starter Alternator Reversible System) fully automates this function and can achieve fuel consumption savings of up to 28% in congested city driving. The StARS solution combines the alternator and starter functions. In starter mode, the engine is started immediately and silently by the belt linking the system to the crankshaft. The alternator mode features a new technology that improves the electrical efficiency of the system.
