Abstract
The biofidelity of the latest version of the European Side Impact Dummy has been evaluated. Impactor tests, drop tests and sled tests have been conducted to assess the biofidelity of the head, thorax, shoulder, abdomen and pelvis of the production prototype EUROSID. It appears that the response of EUROSID in padded impact tests is in good agreement with the cadaver responses, while EUROSID appears to be too stiff in rigid impact tests.
