Hybrid III Children Series
- Standard 6YO ATD 127-0000-H
The Hybrid III 6 Year Old Child Crash Test Dummy was originally developed in 1993 in cooperation with the SAE Biomechanics Committees and the National Highway Transport Safety Administration (NHTSA). The anthropometry of the dummy is derived from NHTSA Research studies and the biomechanical corridors are derived from scaling of the adult dummies. 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 "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.
