A number of tests conducted under the sponsorship of FAT were reported in previous papers. These tests featured human cadavers and three different Anthropomorphic Test Devices (ATD) designed for use in lateral impacts. The reported responses of the human cadavers had wide variability and none of the ATD's studied featured good biofidelity In this effort, a reexamination of the available data was undertaken and the process and results of applying different analysis techniques to the cadaver data which resulted in significantly reduced scatter and variability, are discussed.
