Abstract

EEVC Working Group 9 published a comprehensive review of the lateral impact cadaver data base at the 1990 IRCOBI Conference in Lyon France. This paper provides a concise description of the test procedures and biofidelity targets which were included in that paper, modified in the light of test experiences. Minor changes have been made to the test procedures and test configurations as further information on the original cadaver tests has become available.
