| Abstract | The Hybrid III Rail Safety (H3-RS) anthropomorphic test device (ATD) is a crash test dummy developed in the United Kingdom to evaluate abdomen and lower thorax injuries that occur when passengers impact workstation tables during train accidents. The H3-RS is similar to the standard Hybrid III 50th Percentile Male ATD used in car crash test regulations worldwide, but with a more humanlike abdomen response under table edge loading conditions and with additional instrumentation to evaluate injury risk at multiple bilateral locations on the abdomen and thorax. Some of the objectives of this study are the following: •Conduct six sled tests using the H3-RS ATD and a standard Hybrid III 50th percentile ATD; •Evaluate the performance of commercial workstation tables designed for rail service in the United States and Europe; and •Collect data to determine whether or not two options for demonstrating table crashworthiness result in equivalent safety. |
