Oblique crash is one of the most common types on the roads. However, there are few researches on oblique crash in the field of automobile safety and researchers prefer Hybrid III 50th ATD as protection object rather than the Hybrid III 5th ATD and Hybrid III 95th ATD. 18° oblique crash test platform is built and three test methods are established based on the comparison of tests in this paper to improve the relevant standards of vehicle safety and further to reduce the casualties in oblique crash traffic accidents, and the injury characteristics of the Hybrid III ATDs and their correlations are compared and analyzed through 60 tests. The results show that the neck and right thigh of the Hybrid III 50th ATD are at the highest risk of injury, while the head injury indexes of the Hybrid III 5th ATD are 29.9% higher than that of the Hybrid III 50th ATD and the left thigh force of the Hybrid III 95th ATD is 565.5% higher than that of the Hybrid III 50th ATD, indicating drivers with different percentile will be injured in different degrees in 18° oblique crash, which provides the most powerful data support and technical support for further improvement of related standards and also has guiding significance for vehicle enterprises to optimize the model design.
