Hybrid III

Description

The Hybrid III crash test dummy is a standardized anthropomorphic test device (ATD) used in frontal-impact testing. The adult models represent a 50th percentile male, a 95th percentile male, and a 5th percentile female [1].

WebSAT uses the ATD recorded with a loaded test to select available calculations and applicable reference values.
