This paper describes the Finite Element (FE) model development of the Progressive Deformable Barrier (PDB). The FE model of the PDB incorporates shear tearing effect and air pressure effect of the honeycomb in the PDB. The developed PDB is used in several vehicle-to-PDB simulations to check its robustness. Five different makes and models of passenger vehicles are selected for the simulation of PDB tests. Finally, the aggressiveness of these vehicles is presented based on the simulation results.
