Injury criteria in lateral collisions when an APROD dummy is used

Hue, B.; Tarrière, C.; Leung, Y. C.; Fayon, A.; Got, C.; Patel, A.

Modifications brought to APROD dummy since the 8th ESV Conferencein Wolfsburg are presented and explained. They result in new features of biofidelity and of dynamic response as regards the main body segments. Simultaneously, the injury criteria to be associated to the use of APROD in lateral collisions are discussed. They include in particular the case of the abdomen. Besides, the new head and neck assembly is matched to HIC 1500 and the thorax to a relative deflection criterion which is commented upon.
