Abstract

This paper will highlight the design, development and features of the Hybrid III 95th Large Male and the Hybrid III 10 Year Old Child crash dummies. Both dummies have been developed by the co-operative efforts of Denton ATD, Inc., First Technology Safety Systems and R. A. Denton, Inc and other participants through the Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE). The main focus of the presentation will be to highlight each dummy including the history, design criteria, instrumentation capability, biofidelity corridors, injury reference values, and uses and applications.

The Hybrid III 10 year old fills the gap in the Hybrid III family between the 6 year old and the small adult female, and is designed to evaluate vehicle restraints with and without child booster seats, and passenger airbags with the occupant out of position. The dummy can be positioned in a "slouch" posture more typical of a real 10 year old sitting without a booster seat. The dummy also hosts several new load cells and innovative measurement capabilities. It is expected to be referenced in a future upgrade to the MVSS213 regulation.

The Hybrid III 95th Large Male was originally developed in the Center for Disease Control and Prevention/Ohio State University project. The SAE committee took the task on of updating the 95th to the Hybrid III Family level for instrumentation and measurement. The dummy design incorporates the latest features of the Hybrid family and new load cell and accelerometer locations. The dummy is expected to be included in the Part 572 regulations in 2003.
