Abstract
Anthropomorphic test devices (ATDs), commonly referred to as dummies or manikins, are used in simulated collisions of new vehicle design as mechanical surrogates of humans to develop and standardize safer occupant protective systems. The main goal of standards in the automotive as well as in the aerospace industry, is to prevent and mitigate the risk of severe injuries and the preservation of human life. At first, crash tests were conducted using corpses or volunteers. However, the problem of finding willing volunteers as well as dead bodies free from external injuries or internal damage, led engineers to focus on developing dummies designed to replicate human characteristics.
Earlier versions of dummies were strictly used for loading the vehicle dynamically, focusing only on weight and size in their construction
