Application & Function
Crash Test Dummies are used in automotive safety testing, specifically designed to simulate human reactions and injuries during frontal impact and frontal offset impact tests. Manufactured and certified in Japan to meet the CFR 49, Parts 572 regulations, these dummies are crucial in evaluating the safety features of vehicles, including airbags, seat belts, and other protective measures.
These dummies are utilized in various applications:
Sled Testing: Used as a weight dummy to evaluate vehicle safety under controlled conditions.
Pedestrian Testing: Employed for R&D purposes, such as evaluating injuries sustained by pedestrians, cyclists, and riders in crash scenarios.
Customization: We offer modifications to dummy parts, installation of sensors, and adjustments to suit specific testing requirements.
Standards Compliant
Our Crash Test Dummies are certified and manufactured in accordance with the following standards:
CFR 49, Parts 572: Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards
FMVSS 208: Occupant Crash Protection
FMVSS 214: Side Impact Protection
These standards ensure that the dummies are highly accurate in simulating human reactions during vehicle collisions.
