Abstract
The development, manufacture and testing of a new anthropomorphic test dummy (GM-ATD 502) is discussed. Improvements in performance repeatability and reproducibility of the dummy are documented and the anthropometric and biomechanical basis of the design described. The development of repeatable testing procedures and of dummy features that enhance the accuracy of the initial test setup are also discussed.
