The dynamic rollover test machine, one of only two in the country, enables test engineers to simulate a rollover event while recording significant test data from inside the vehicle.
The Horton body was subjected to 14 rollover impacts while establishing a baseline, and then testing HOPS. The body retained its structural integrity through it all.
The Hybrid III test dummies are fully instrumented to check head strike impacts, G loads, neck loading and seat belt forces. Comparisons are made to evaluate base line data against data collected with new experimental systems and to ensure the efficacy of the solution.
(Below) Massive amounts of data are collected and fed to a computer with sensors in Hybrid III dummies and in the patient area.
