Content

The Crash Test Dummy is designed based on Chinese anthropometric data and represents an average adult male (50th percentile). Its structure and functionality are similar to international 50th percentile dummies, featuring human-like form and biomechanical responses. It can serve as a surrogate for humans in frontal crash testing, measuring acceleration, force, moment, and displacement at key body regions including the head, neck, thorax, pelvis, thighs, knees, and lower legs. This dummy supports occupant safety research and injury analysis.

Application

The Crash Test Dummy is primarily used for:

(1) Frontal crash occupant protection testing;

(2) Verification of seat and seatbelt restraint systems;

(3) NCAP and new car assessment crash tests;

(4) High-repetition research and laboratory crash testing;

(5) Vehicle occupant injury analysis and biomechanics research;

(6) Performance evaluation of occupant safety systems in aerospace, rail, and other transport applications.

Standards

(1) GB/T 11551 – Protection of occupants in frontal and side collisions

(2) GB 14166 – Motor vehicle seat belts and restraint systems

(3) ISO 9790 / ISO/TR 9790 – Road vehicles – Side impact dummy – Evaluation method

(4) FMVSS 208 – Occupant crash protection

(5) FMVSS 214 – Side impact protection

(6) UNECE R94 – Frontal collision protection

(7) UNECE R95 – Lateral collision protection

(8) Euro NCAP – Frontal and side impact test protocols

Features

(1) Based on Chinese anthropometric 50th percentile parameters, reflecting domestic human ergonomics;

(2) Human-like shape and joint structure, providing high-fidelity frontal crash biomechanical response;

(3) Measures acceleration, force, moment, and displacement at head, neck, thorax, pelvis, thigh, knee, and lower leg;

(4) Suitable for NCAP, GB, and international crash testing standards;

(5) Reusable, structurally stable, suitable for high-repetition research and crash labs;

(6) Compatible with multi-channel data acquisition systems for advanced injury assessment.

Test Procedures

(1) Calibrate the dummy and all sensors before testing, including zero-point and sensitivity checks;

(2) Ensure proper seating posture and alignment according to standard requirements;

(3) Connect the data acquisition system securely, avoiding cable interference during impact;

(4) Follow GB and international standards testing procedures to ensure data reliability;

(5) Inspect limbs, skeleton, and sensors after each test to prevent cumulative damage affecting accuracy.

Maintenance Information

(1) Inspect head, neck, thorax, pelvis, limbs, and joints for wear or damage;

(2) Verify all sensors and data acquisition connections;

(3) Lubricate joints and check modular connections;

(4) Keep dummy surfaces clean and dry, avoid exposure to corrosive agents;

(5) Store in controlled temperature and humidity;

(6) Record maintenance and usage after each experiment.

Conclusion

The Crash Test Dummy offers a high-fidelity representation of a 50th percentile adult male based on domestic anthropometric data. It accurately reproduces human biomechanical responses in frontal collisions, enabling precise measurement of forces, accelerations, moments, and displacements at critical body locations. The dummy supports regulatory testing, NCAP evaluation, and advanced vehicle safety research.
