WS | Session 5 | 2 Mar 2011

NHTSA is researching whether BRIC can be used as a complementary injury criterion to the HIC. BRICs have been developed for the ES-2 and the Hybrid III dummies. The same development procedure can be used to develop a BRIC for the WorldSID dummies. NHTSA requested that angular rate sensors (example shown in WS-5-13) be installed in the WorldSID dummies during testing to increase the data pool used to develop the WorldSID BRIC. Transport Canada noted that they have rotational data that can be sent to NHTSA.
