Abstract
The purpose of this paper is to describe the results of the Human Mechanical Subcommittee of the Human Biomechanics and Stimulation Standards committee of the Society of Automotive Engineers in their task of defining test procedures and associated response guidelines to be used to asses the biofidelity of side impact dummies that are being developed. Guidelines have been developed by normalizing the side impact biofidelity guidelines that were established by the International Standards Organization (ISO) for adult males. The new ISO guidelines can be used to define biofidelity guidelines for any size or age of dummy provided pertinent geometric, inertial and tissue properties are specified.
