Abstract:

This report documents NHTSA’s evaluation of the repeatability and reproducibility (R&R) of the 50th percentile Test Device for Human Occupant Restraint (THOR-50M) dummy in qualification tests. Repeatability (similarity of test responses from a single dummy when subjected to repeats of a given test condition) and reproducibility (similarity of test responses from several dummies when subjected to repeats of a given test condition) of the THOR-50M were evaluated by calculating the coefficient of variation values for each qualification test using several different dummies and test labs. With few exceptions, the results didn’t require a thorough review of the test procedures or necessitate the need for complete dummy inspections. Therefore, the THOR-50M R&R was deemed sufficient for use as a test tool for evaluating the safety of vehicles. Results obtained in a few tests identify areas for potential further investigation or provide opportunities to create future dummy enhancements.
