A verification of the two dimensional part of the MADYMO program packet is described. With this program packet a two dimensional model is made to simulate collisions with a vehicle occupant. For this research a number of impact tests are done with an anthropometric dummy. The results of these tests are compared with computer simulations. To establish the parameters of the model, a high number of measurements are made to the dummy and the safety belt system. The results of these measurements are also presented.
