Anthropomorphic test devices (ATDs) are physical or numerical devices we need to evaluate possible injury outcome in different predefined standard car crash scenarios. At the moment standardized car crash test procedures (frontal, side rear impact and impact with the pedestrian) require specific ATDs for each type of the impact. The specific design of the actual ATDs is such, that applicability of these devices for more general load cases, close to the real life road accidents is limited. In recent years human models were developed (Human Model for Safety, Total Human Model for Safety etc.), where not only outside appearance and topology of the ATD is human like. Human models are modeled in great detail in many anatomic aspects. Usually skeleton, muscles and tendons as well as main internal organs, veins and arteries are modeled as well. Human models also have characteristic joints which are designed to resemble real human body kinematic as close as possible. In most of the cases available human models represent an adult person of the average anthropometry. Children human models are in most of the cases scaled adult human models. In general it could be concluded that at the moment scaling techniques used to scale data between an adult human subject and child human subject are simplified, taking into consideration only a specific point of view related to differences between adult and child population.
