NHTSA presented testing conducted by UMTRI comparing PMHS thorax and pelvic responses to WorldSID 50th male dummy responses. The PMHS and dummies were impacted by a padded wall, first at 3 m/s and then at 8 m/s. It was found that the WorldSID abdomen does not deform as much as the PMHS abdomen under similar conditions and is somewhat less rate sensitive. The WorldSID pelvis forces were higher than the PMHS response corridors sat 8 m/s, but the WorldSID pelvis Y-axis was within the response corridors, suggesting that the WorldSID pelvis may too stiff. Future testing may include a comparison study of the 5th female, depending on the availability of PMHS.
