What does the moose test for cars mean?
1 Answers
The moose test is an internationally recognized important standard for measuring vehicle safety, and the test's name originates from moose. Moose are distributed across the Scandinavian Peninsula in Northern Europe and most parts of North America, often jumping out unexpectedly in front of vehicles and colliding with high-speed vehicles, causing serious traffic accidents. The moose test evaluates a vehicle's ability to avoid obstacles. The method of the moose test is as follows: the vehicle, in a fully loaded state (with four occupants and corresponding weights in the trunk), enters the test area at a constant speed and performs high-speed evasion without applying the brakes or throttle. The test is conducted repeatedly by two testers in the front seats, gradually increasing the speed until the vehicle loses control, at which point the speed is recorded. The test is then verified twice to confirm the reliability of the speed at which control is lost.
