Abstract

Some aspects of reproductions of a real world side impact, in which the unrestrained driver received injuries, are discussed. The use of dummies allows comparison to be made between the outputs of these surrogates and the actual occupant's injuries. The differences in the kinematics are discussed, and in particular the movements of the dummies' head. The usefulness of the CRASH program is illustrated.
