This paper discusses the attempts of the Rösrather Crash Days 2009. Crash tests were conducted, using a 7.5 ton truck and vans hitting parked cars while manoeuvring. These vehicles performed standard manoeuvrings while examining the visibility for the truck driver or van driver. The tests are documented in detail, together with video footage outside and interior shots of the driver, and acceleration measurements and high-speed video recordings.
