Validation Specific Modifier

Validation Template Subjective Modifiers

In the Euro NCAP Frontal 2026 tests the Subjective Modifiers are consistent across the Load Cases. The exception being the "Lower Leg Exceedance" Modifier which is specific to only Validation Load Cases.

The "Lower Leg Exceedance" Modifier has three options in these REPORTER templates which are: Off, No, and Yes. This is to account for physical and virtual test data.

"Off":  When set to Off there will be no modifier set allowing "Lower Leg" to be scored along with the other body regions. Total % is the minimum of the Band % and the Points are scored accordingly. The user should use this setting if either they have physical test data input or want to get an understanding of how the Lower Leg is behaving. 

The REPORTER template will default the "Lower Leg Exceedance" Modifier as "Off" since this is the most flexible option and gives the most insight into how the model is behaving.

See Example 1 below: Set to "Off"

"Yes": When set to Yes the modifier value will be set to -100% resulting in "Lower Leg" to be scored as 0 Points. This setting should be used if the physical test data has exceeded the LPL for Tibia index or Tibia force.

See Example 2 below: set to "Yes"

"No": When set to No the Modifier value will be set to +100% resulting in "Lower Leg" to be scored as the Maximum Points. This setting should be used if the physical test dummy has not exceeded the LPL for Tibia index or Tibia force.

See Example 3 below: Set to "No"
