The biofidelity, repeatability, and reproducibility of various anthropometric devices in rear impact are examined. The Hybrid III the Hybrid III with the RID neck, and the TAD-50 were tested in a rigid bench condition in rear impacts. The Hybrid III and the Hybrid III with the RID neck were also tested on standard production seats in rear impacts. Comparison testing of the Hybrid III and TRID necks were conducted on production seats with different NIF scores. The Hybrid III and the Hybrid III with the pedestrian pelvis were also tested with standard production seats to determine if hip joint stiffness affected the kinematics of the ATD in rear impacts. The comparisons showed that the Hybrid III dummy is suitable for rear impact testing.
