Finally, someone came up with a decent female crash test dummy:
One of the researchers whose name was on all of those papers is Astrid Linder, director of traffic safety at the Swedish National Road and Transport Research Institute . Linder recently told the BBC about the work she and her team have done to develop a dummy that accurately mimics the average female body. This is not the first female-based dummy.
Automotive safety engineers have worked on solutions for the past decade, too. In 2012, researchers published a paper on neck injuries in crash tests using "a new female dummy prototype." Work continued on crash dummies that better represented female bodies.
"We have differences in the shape of the torso and the center of gravity and the outline of our hips and pelvis," Linder told the BBC.Just because we now have a better way to test the impact of crashes on both male and female bodies does not mean that vehicle safety features will change tomorrow. No laws anywhere require crash tests to use male and female dummies, and engineers can't fix problems they can't identify.
