Abstract:

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration's (NHTSA) plans for upgrading the Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) No. 208, frontal crash protection safety standard, include improving protection requirements for the normally seated mid-sized adult male, as well as including additional requirements that will specify minimum requirements to minimize the risks from airbags to small-sized females and children in both normal and out-of-position seating locations. These new crash specifications will require the use of additional dummies of various sizes as well as additional performance criteria that appropriately represent injury thresholds of these additional population segments. The purpose of this report is to document the proposed injury criteria for specified body regions, including both the rationale and performance limits associated with them for all the various sized dummies to be used in the proposed upgrade of FMVSS No. 208 for frontal crash protection. Major areas of the body covered include head, neck, thorax and lower extremities. References, appendices. 1130k, 120p.
