Abstract:

New car assessment program (NCAP), as an evaluation mechanism the automotive enterprises and massive consumers highly concern, plays an important role in promoting the research and development of vehicle safety technology. In recent years, a variety of NCAPs in the world constantly make progress in pedestrian protection, and the newly promulgated C?NCAP (2021) proposes a higher requirement on pedestrian protection. In this paper, the way of testing and scoring criteria provisioned in the latest versions of NCAP in China, Europe, Australia, South Korea, Japan, and Latin America are reviewed and comparatively analyzed, with the prospects of evaluation method of pedestrian protection forecast, aiming at providing a comprehensive reference to the research, development and evaluation personnel in automotive enterprises and an important basis for the formulation of the safety standard for vehicle?pedestrian crash in China.

Key words: global NCAP, pedestrian protection, testing and assessment methods, comparative study
