RIN 2127–AH87

Anthropomorphic Test Dummy;

Occupant Crash Protection

AGENCY: National Highway Traffic

Safety Administration (NHTSA),

Department of Transportation.

ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking.

SUMMARY: This document proposes to

amend the neck lateral calibration

specifications for the SID/HIII dummy.

This dummy is employed in side impact

pole tests which assess the effectiveness

of dynamically deployed head impact

protection systems. In these tests, the

subject vehicle is towed sideways into

a pole in such a way that the vehicle

impacts the pole at a point

corresponding to the center of gravity of

the head of a seated SID/HIII dummy.

Data collected from these tests are used

to evaluate the performance of the head

impact protection system.

This document responds to a petition

for rulemaking filed by the Alliance of

Automobile Manufacturers. That

petition indicates that the current neck

lateral bending calibration corridor

specified for the SID/HIII dummy is

incorrectly defined. After reviewing the

petition and various data, the agency is

proposing that the corridor

specifications be revised.

DATES: You should submit your

comments early enough to ensure that
