SP - 1405 EP - 1419 VL - 1995 IS - N2 - The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) is now engaged in the design and development of improved frontal test dummy components and associated instrumentation for application to its ongoing Advanced Frontal Protection Program. New or modified versions of existing Hybrid III designs for the neck, shoulder, thorax, abdomen, pelvis, and lower extremities are currently in varying stages of development, test, and evaluation. An overview of the design approach and rationale employed for each body region is presented. A summary of evaluation efforts underway and planned by the NHTSA and other independent parties is provided. In conclusion, a discussion of anticipated future project direction and schedule is provided.
