THOR

The THOR impact dummy is used for frontal impact crash testing, specifically for occupant restraint testing. This dummy can represent the dimensions of either a 50th percentile adult male or 5th percentile adult female. This dummy was developed from the Hybrid III model to improve dynamic response, incorporate more specific instrumentation, improve repeatability of performance. [1]
