The 2015-2019 FARS analysis shows only 24.5 percent of fatalities in side impacts, however, the difference in the figures are attributed to the changing available variables in FARS not a decrease in side impact fatalities. 79 FR at 4573, col. 2.

Foam Feasibility Study by National Center for Manufacturing Sciences (NHTSA, June 2018). Docket No. 241. Using vector analysis, the agency combined the impact speed and impact angle data in crash files to determine that the dynamics and forces of a crash in which a vehicle traveling at 48.3 km/h (30 mph) perpendicularly strikes the side of a vehicle traveling at 24.1 km/h (15 mph) could be represented by a test configuration in which: the test vehicle is stationary; the longitudinal centerline of the MDB is perpendicular to the longitudinal centerline of the test vehicle; the front and rear wheels of the MDB are crabbed at an angle of 27 degrees to the right of its longitudinal centerline in a left side impact and to the left of that centerline in a right side impact; and the MDB moves at that angle and at a speed of 54 km/h (33.5 mph) into the side of the struck vehicle.
