This document defines several terms related to crash testing: test level refers to prescribed test conditions involving vehicle mass, impact speed, and angle to define crash energy; uni-directional application means barriers can only be hit from one direction of traffic; vaulting is abrupt upward movement of an impacting vehicle during a crash; and wear and tear is natural damage from normal use or aging over time.
