Development of an Alternative Frontal Impact Condition to Assess Thoracic Response Using the THOR Mod Kit Dummy

In the course of developing an alternative test condition to explore torso response, the NHTSA’s THOR Mod Kit Dummy was evaluated in two simulated frontal impact conditions. The recently proposed condition, which is less severe, produced less shoulder belt tension resulting in lower chest deflection...
