Abstract

A series of side impact tests have been conducted to evaluate the biofidelity of the EUROSID-1 and BIOSID side impact dummies as specified by the impact response requirements by the Draft Proposals at International Organization for Standardization (ISO)/TC22/SC12 (ISO/DP9790-1 to 6). The test results show that both dummies do not completely satisfy the ISO biofidelity requirements. Some portions of the dummies show best compliance with the ISO requirements, while other portions fail to comply with the requirements. In addition, dummy performance is analysed in terms of the proposed thorax injury criteria. These include: (1) the Thoracic Trauma Index (TTI); (2) the Rib Deflection; and (3) the Viscous Criterion. The test results show that: (i) the Viscous Criterion gives better correlation between the two dummies; and (ii) the TTI gives better equivalence.
