Need for an infant dummy Anthropometry of dummy Instrumentation Design of body segments Response of dummy under static loading Reproducibility and repeatability Future work Acknowledgement and References 11/21/2018 GESAC, Inc

4 Need for an infant dummy
Children and infants spend more and more time in cars. Infants have difficulty supporting their heads. Therefore, when an infant is seated in a traditional child seat, there is concern that the oxygen saturation level in the blood stream may be compromised due to positional apnea. Test tools for conducting dynamic tests of infants on car seats and car beds not currently available. 11/21/2018 GESAC, Inc

5 Data needed to design infant dummy
Anthropometric data. Static and dynamic response data for various body segments Injury reference values for various body segments. These are needed to decide on instrumentation for body segments. 11/21/2018 GESAC, Inc
