Abstract
Aiming to obtain a new, advanced, globally harmonized mid-sized
male side impact dummy the WorldSID (Worldwide Side Impact Dummy)
has been developed under the auspices of the International
Organization for Standardization (ISO) working group on
anthropomorphic test devices: ISO/TC22/SC12/WG5. From 2001 to
mid-2002, the first prototype of the WorldSID was subjected to an
extensive worldwide evaluation program at research institutes,
government agencies and industry test laboratories around the
world. The initial testing resulted in the highest ISO biofidelity
rating for any mid-sized male side impact dummy to date along with
some suggestions for further biofidelity refinements.
These identified refinements have been developed and
incorporated into a revised version of the WorldSID prototype
dummy, which has been subjected to another series of worldwide
evaluation tests in order to assess the resulting biofidelity
rating according to the requirements of ISO Technical Report
9790.
This paper presents and discusses the design modifications
implemented in the revised WorldSID prototype dummy and its
superior performance during the second round of biofidelity
testing. The biofidelity rating of the WorldSID according to ISO TR
9790 and its response repeatability in the biomechanical tests will
be addressed and compared with existing mid-sized male side impact
dummies. The revised WorldSID prototype has exceeded the overall
and individual body region biofidelity ratings of the first
prototype. The revised prototype biofidelity rating is anticipated
to be 7.3 with minor modifications to the dummy head that were
underway at the time of writing this paper.
