Abstract and keywords

Under the European Side Impact Dummy Biomechanics and Experimental Research (SIBER) project, a 50th percentile WorldSID pre-production dummy was evaluated in several configurations. Heidelberg type sled tests and accident reconstruction tests were conducted to verify the biofidelity, durability and repeatability. The sled test configurations consist of padded flat wall and padded pelvis offset. Under the same sled test condition, BASt tested the ES-2 dummy as well for comparison. For the biofidelity rating, the results were analysed compared with PMHS data using the cumulative variance. In addition, two accident reconstructions were conducted to analyse the WorldSID performance for different accident severities.
