Exploring the Differences between the THOR-5F Female and the Hybrid III 5th Crash Test Dummies

article imageCrash test dummies have been an integral part of vehicle safety research and development for decades, allowing engineers to test the effectiveness of new vehicle designs and technologies in physical crash tests as well as computer simulations of crash tests. But not all crash test dummies are created equal. For example, the Hybrid III 5th currently used in some safety test protocols and the newer advanced THOR-5F (Test device for Human Occupant Restraint) are both designed to simulate the physical characteristics of a small-stature female. However, there are some significant differences and implications between the two dummies pertaining to the accuracy of representing the female physiology and fidelity of data produced from crash test results.
