Abstract

The paper briefly describes the stfltus of the production version of the European Side Impact Dummy, EUROSID. The paper details the improvements that have been made or are being considered to the Production Prototype dummies prior to the final specification of the Production EUROSID dummy EUROSID-1. The certification requirements are briefly described where they are different from those detailed in the 1987 EUROSID User's Manual. The overall performance of the production prototype dummy in crash testing is reviewed with comparisons being made to accident reconstructions and cadaver data.
