| Abstract | NHTSA developed a seating procedure for the WorldSID 50th percentile male dummy (WSID-50M) and subsequently developed a seating procedure for the THOR 50th percentile male dummy (THOR-50M). These original procedures were publicly released in December 2015. Since the THOR-50M and the WSID-50M are built based on the same anthropometry study, the original seating procedure for the WSID-50M was revised (WSID-50M_Rev1) to reflect improvements identified during the development of the original THOR-50M seating procedure and to provide more consistency between the seating procedures for these two 50th percentile male advanced ATDs. There were revisions to the THOR-50M seating procedure being done concurrently with revisions to the WSID-50M procedure. Observations from the use of the WSID-50M_Rev1 procedure in a series of 12 crash tests, combined with revisions being made to the THOR-50M procedure, resulted in a second revision to the WSID-50M procedure, the new WSID-50M_Rev2. The differences between the WSID-50M_Rev1 and WSID-50M_Rev2 procedures were minor clarifications in the language and added steps in defining heel point when using the different styles of accelerator pedals. The WSID-50M_Rev2 seating procedure is very similar to the revised THOR-50M procedure, thus providing consistency in the procedures for these two advanced 50th percentile male ATDs. |
