Overview of Development of Vehicle Crash Test Dummy

As an important tool in safety testing of vehicles, the crash test dummy has been modified and developed with the development of the automobile industry. Human models for crash simulation are drawing more attentions because of its low cost, high similarity compared to real human. Based on the increasing demands for automobile crash dummies in China, the paper studies the development of vehicle crash dummies at home and abroad and the difference between physical crash dummies and human model for crash simulation, providing references for the development of vehicle crash dummy with Chinese physiological characteristics.
