WorldSID 50th: The biofidelity, repeatability, reproducibility, and durability analysis is complete. The documentation, including Final Reports, User’s Manuals, and Drawing Packages, are being completed. Discussions have started on developing a generic Data Acquisition System (DAS) specifications. Additionally, the seat procedures are being evaluated and fleet testing has begun. The dummy manufacturer is making material changes to the head and pelvis which may then require further testing to validate the properties.

WorldSID 5th: A preliminary inspection has begun of the 2 dummies. Certification tests have been conducted on the head and neck, and show good repeatability and reproducibility. In the examination of the IR-TRACC, repeatability issues have been raised when testing the sensitivity of the devices. A question was raised on whether this was a universal problem with the IR-TRACCs. It was noted that some work has been conducted on the diffuser and NHTSA is evaluating new IR-TRACCs to see if the problem still exists. The drawing packages and research are expected to be completed by the end of 2013.
