Abstract

The research of child restraint systems tested under side impact test conditions has been conducted extensively in the past few years. In May 2008 US Government and Industry meeting, US National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) presented a summary of the 3-year-old child side impact dummy evaluation result with some desired improvements, including the neck biofidelity and thorax rib cage durability. With further evaluation later at Ford, Transport Canada and NHTSA Vehicle Research and Test Center (VRTC), it was observed the hip ball popped out from the cup retainer duringsome of the tests. This paper summarizes the improvements that address these identified issues in the past year.
