An intense safety performance crash was designed and processed to validate the inside behaviour of the modules during a high speed crash. The speed reached during testing was 34.9mph. The weight that the modules contained was 250kg of ballast.
The results were analysed by a digital camera, two on-board cameras and a video camera 3/4 view.
