This paper covers an influence of different arrangement of spring and damper on the models? response. Differences in simulating vehicle ? to ? rigid barrier collision and vehicle ? to ? pole collision are explained. Comparison of the models obtained from wideband (unfiltered) acceleration and filtered acceleration is done. At the end we propose a model which is suitable for localized collisions simulation
