TY - JOUR PY - 2001// TI - A comparison between biorid and hybrid iii head/neck/torso response in middle speed sled rear impact tests JO - Proceedings: International Technical Conference on the Enhanced Safety of Vehicles A1 - Gotou, T.

VL - 2001 IS - N2 - The most important tool used in testing methods for evaluating the performance of seat-systems in rear-end impacts is a biofidelic crash test dummy. It has been reported that there are differences in response between two kinds of such dummies, BioRID P3 and Hybrid III, in rear-end impacts at delta V=9.2 km/h. The objective of this study is to compare the responses of these two types of dummies, at moderate speeds with HYGE sled tests (delta V=15 km/h, 25 km/h). At delta V=25 km/h or less, the BioRID and HYIII dummies showed clear differences in their response to a rear-end collision, and the BioRID showed higher biofidelity than the HyIII in this condition.
