Two male Hybrid III crash test dummies inside a Subaru Outback. A crash test dummy, or simply dummy, is a full-scale anthropomorphic test device (ATD) that simulates the dimensions, weight proportions and articulation of the human body during a traffic collision.
Using the crash test dummy to perform repeated crash tests, the injury location can be effectively predicted, and the injury indicators of the occupants can be estimated. This paper reviews the development of dummies and is introduced from four aspects. The first is theoretical foundation of crash test dummy, named biomechanical injury mechanism.
The main purpose of crash test dummy used as a substitute for human in car collisions is to determine the injury sever- ity to human body caused by the accident.
