Hybrid III Children Series
- Standard 3YO ATD 210-0000-H
The Hybrid III 3 Year Old Child Crash Test Dummy was originally developed in 1992 in cooperation with the SAE Biomechanics Committees and the National Highway Transport Safety Administration (NHTSA). The anthropometry of the dummy is derived from University of Michigan Transport Research Institute (UMTRI) studies and scaled data from the current Hybrid III 50th dummy. The dummy went through a complete upgrade in 1997 to enable the dummy to evaluate airbag aggressiveness when a child is close to a deploying airbag.
The dummy can be positioned standing or sitting and can evaluate the safety performance of many types of child restraint systems. The "Out Of Position" (OOP) test procedures require the dummy to accurately measure neck loading, chest compression and the Viscous Criterion while being durable and repeatable in these severe test conditions.
