Common use of Deceleration curve of the structure Clause in Contracts

Deceleration curve of the structure. The deceleration curve of the structure during the impact phase shall be such that the "variation of speed in relation to time" curve obtained by integration at no point differs by more than ± 1 m/s from the "variation of speed in relation to time" reference curve of the vehicle concerned as defined in appendix to this annex. A displacement with regard to the time axis of the reference curve may be used to obtain the structure velocity inside the corridor.
