A capability to predictively simulate passenger dynamics during automobile rollover accidents was developed and a violent and complex rollover test was chosen for validation of this capability. The chosen test event was a staged 60 mph rollover crash in which the vehicle, with a restrained Part 572 dummy occupant, made four complete rolls in 4.5 seconds. The vehicle's motion was reconstructed from high speed film coverage of the test. Six-degree-of-freedom data were then used as input to the Articulated Total Body (ATB) model for predictive simulation of the dummy dynamics. The model predictions of the dummy motion compared favorably to the on-board film coverage of the dummy motion.
