This summary of the RICSAC Tests represents the best information currently available for the individual RICSAC full-scale crash test conditions and results. The "best information" for the reconstruction results was derived from a detailed review of the full-scale test reports (Reference 29 and 30), review of the reported results by Smith and Noga in Reference 31 and use of the m-smac computer program (Reference 32) to check and verify the reported full-scale test results. Test number 1 through 12 were run at Calspan and reported in Reference 29. Test number 14 is Test 3 from Reference 30 (Please note that two other full-scale tests were ran and reported in Reference 30. The other tests included secondary contacts between the collision partners. Secondary impacts will be addressed and included in future updates of the m­crash program and at that time the additional full­scale test results will be reported and compared with m-crash reconstructions).
