EVALUATION OF SELF-CONTAINED ANTHROPOMORPHIC DUMMY DATA ACQUISITION SYSTEM

The purpose of the test program was to evaluate a self-contained solid state digital data acquisition system mounted in a 50th percentile male anthropomorphic dummy. The program consisted of conducting five automobile crash tests of various types with the crash-recorder-equipped dummy occupying different seating positions in each test and restrained by either conventional belts or an air cushion restraint system. Following each test the data were extracted from the self-contained recorder and transcribed onto a magnetic tape for further processing and the computation of dummy injury criteria.
