STATE-OF-THE-ART DUMMY SELECTION--VOLUME I
Since the standardization of the Part 572 dummy, there has been considerable effort in the development of both dummy hardware and biomechanical information. This project was conducted to compare and evaluate the Part 572, APROD'81, and Hybrid III dummy hardware in frontal impacts; and to select a dummy for interim use in Agency research programs. The project consisted of three phases: calibration, dummy component evaluation, and dummy system evaluation. The dummy component evaluation results present a comparison of the dummies' components on the basis of biofidelity, temperature sensitivity, symmetry, repeatability, and durability. The dummy system evaluation results are presented for passenger three-point belt restraint, driver distributed load air cushion, and unrestrained driver environments. The report is presented in two volumes, with Volume II consisting of appendices.
