The dimensional, inertial, surface compliance and joint range-of- motion and resistive properties of a standard and a pedestrian or standing Hybrid III dummy were measured. The data were averaged, between the two dummies and their right and left sides, to form one representative data set for all body segments except the abdomen (lumbar spine), pelvis and upper legs. These segments were distinctly different for the two dummies and two separate data sets were prepared for them. The data were further reduced to the specific input format requirements for the Crash Victim Simulation (CVS) and Articulated Total Body (ATB) model programs. A simulation of an automobile crash events was performed to demonstrate the correctness of the data format and physical consistency of the input data. Biodynamics, Modeling, Dummies, Simulation.
