Abstract

A series of side impact tests have been conducted to evaluate the biofidelity of the latest prototype of a small side impact dummy, SID- II s β+(plus). The tests were lateral impacts for the thorax, shoulder, and pelvis, as well as lateral drops for the head, thorax, abdomen, and pelvis. The test data were compared to the response target corridors that were estimated by scaling the cadaver test data to a smaller occupant.

The test results show that the head, shoulder, thorax, abdomen and pelvis of the SID-II s β+ either completely or close to meets the response target corridors, and that its biofidelity has been improved from the previous dummy SID-II s β+ -prototype.
