Abstract

The comparison of loads and kinematics of human subjects and dummies examined demonstrated that the biofidelity of dummies must be improved to be suitable as a test device for lateral impact testing, because of the present lack of a suitable side impact dummy and absence of correlation between dummy loadings and occupant injury, research activities must continue so as to be able to assess the effectiveness of vehicle measures in real- world impacts.
