Hybrid III 5th Female

Humanetics harmonized Hybrid III 5th Female ATD represents the smallest segment of the adult population for the evaluation of automotive safety restraints in frontal crash testing and was created using scaled data taken from our Hybrid III 50th dummy. Like its male counterpart, the Hybrid III 5th Female is also used in non-automotive applications such as medical and sports equipment. Originally developed in 1988 by Humanetics and the SAE International Biomechanics Subcommittees, CDC and Ohio State University, the Hybrid III 5th Female was upgraded in 1991 to evaluate seat belt submarining. The dummy was upgraded again in 1997 to improve its ability to evaluate airbag aggressiveness, particularly for the car driver close to the steering wheel in the "Out Of Position" (OOP) test condition. The Hybrid III 5th Female dummy is dynamically tested and proven to the latest test conditions and includes the ability to measure the thorax Viscous Criterion.
