This technical note focuses on the evaluation of a procedure for positioning a crash test dummy in a rail environment before physical testing. Through physical implementation, a simple approach consisting of adjusting the location of the dummy on the seat was evaluated and validated. The data collected was used to accurately align a virtual dummy with real-life information demonstrating that the procedure, coupled with virtual modelling, provides a powerful research tool by which to improve the passive safety of passengers travelling in rail vehicles.
