THOR-AV-50M

Purpose-built for reclined seating between 25° and 60°, THOR-AV-50M delivers biomechanical insight that empowers safety teams to validate reclined seating with confidence, accelerate development decisions, and stay ahead of evolving global standards. This next-generation crash test dummy accurately represents human kinematics in upright and reclined positions up to 60 degrees. With 150 high-resolution data channels, it captures detailed biomechanical signals across the head, neck, thorax, abdomen, pelvis, and lower extremities. THOR-AV-50M delivers measurable clarity where legacy crash test dummies cannot. Reclined postures increase lap belt angle, shift load paths toward the abdomen, and change how the body moves in a crash. The THOR-AV-50M introduces targeted upgrades to better replicate human-like kinematics and address the unique challenges of reclined seating in autonomous vehicle environments.
