Summary Template
Summary Template
This guide helps users to perform a summary providing the overall score for the C-NCAP Far Side Protocol as specified in section 1.2.1.5 of the C-NCAP Management Regulation (2024) taking into account the eight Working Conditions and the two dual-occupant penalties.
To use this template you first must have run:
- 1x C-NCAP Far Side Protocol 2024 Working Conditions with Correction Factor A template
- 7x C-NCAP Far Side Protocol 2024 Working Condition templates
- (Suggested but not required) C-NCAP Far Side Protocol 2024 Dual-Occupant Penalty (WSID or ES-2re Passenger) template
- (Suggested but not required) C-NCAP Far Side Protocol 2024 Dual-Occupant Penalty (WSID or ES-2re Driver) templates (if you have centre console airbags)
The templates will produce reporter_variables files on completion, this will be used to populate the summary template.
Running the template in REPORTER
In REPORTER you can now run the C-NCAP Far Side Protocol 2024 Summary Template. To find it go to the Automotive tab and filter by 'Virtual testing' under Protection and 'C-NCAP' under Regulation. Upon opening the template you will be asked a few questions:
Firstly to select a directory to recursively search in to find the aforementioned reporter_variables files
Then select a directory to save the output summary template .CSV and .XLSX files to. Selecting 'No' will use the selected reporter_variables directory
REPORTER Results
The template displays the summary table of all the Working Conditions and Penalties, including head offset, scores and Correction Factor A (CFA)
The total far side score is then displayed next to a reminder of how it is calculated.
