The recently developed EvaRID dummy model allows virtual investigations of female vehicle occupants. Females in general show an increased risk of sustaining whiplash‐associated disorders in rear impacts. To verify the performance of the EvaRID model during its development a comparison with volunteer tests was performed. The load (e.g. delta‐v) on volunteers is limited due to injury risks. Also, the kinematics of vertebral bodies was not recorded in these studies. Thus, two female post mortem human subjects (PMHS) matching the anthropometry of 50th percentile females were tested, in two different setups with and without head restraint and two different acceleration pulses (Euro NCAP mid and high severity). The PMHS were equipped with several accelerometers. Lateral overview high‐speed videos and detailed high‐speed radiographic videos of the vertebral bodies were captured. From the radiographic videos, trajectories of the vertebrae were extracted and kinematics compared with Finite Element Analysis. A good correlation of the global kinematics for the head and upper body and also for the behaviour of the single vertebrae of EvaRID compared to the PMHS’ vertebras was found. Furthermore the study shows that EvaRID seems as representative in behaviour compared to female PMHS as the BioRID model is for male PMHS.
