Samenvatting
This paper describes the results of laboratory evaluation of the thoracic assessment device (leased out by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) under the cooperation research) developed for the advanced anthropometric test device and prototyped for the 50th percentile male dummy (TAD-50M) in a HYGE test under relatively severe impact conditions. The advanced thorax has been integrated with the HY-III head, neck, pelvis, and upper and lower extremities. The evaluation program consisted of eight sled tests; five at 30 mph and three at 35 mph, including airbag only, the 3-point seat belt and the 3-point seat belt with airbag systems using a white body of a compact car.
