2. Body and leg elements
 Lower leg segments are connected to the seat pan assembly at the T-bar joining the knees, which is a lateral extension of the adjustable thigh bar. Quadrants are incorporated in the lower leg segments to measure knee angles. Shoe and foot assemblies are calibrated to measure the foot angle. Two spirit levels orient the device in space. Body element weights are placed at the corresponding centres of gravity to provide seat penetration equivalent to a 76 kg male. All joints of the 3-D H machine should be checked for free movement without encountering noticeable friction.

THREE-DIMENSIONAL REFERENCE SYSTEM

       1. The three-dimensional reference system is defined by three orthogonal planes established by the vehicle manufacturer (see figure). [*/-11]
2. The vehicle measuring attitude is established by positioning the vehicle on the supporting surface such that the co-ordinates of the fiducial marks correspond to the values indicated by the manufacturer.
3. The co-ordinates of the "R" point and the "H" point are established in relation to the fiducial marks defined by the vehicle manufacturer.

REFERENCE DATA CONCERNING SEATING POSITIONS

1. Coding of reference data
 Reference data are listed consecutively for each seating position. Seating positions are identified by a two-digit code. The first digit is an Arabic numeral and designates the row of seats, counting from the front to the rear of the vehicle. The second digit is a capital letter which designates the location of the seating position in a row, as viewed in the direction of forward motion of the vehicle; the following letters shall be used:
 L = left
 C = centre
 R = right

TEST PROCEDURE WITH TROLLEY

1. TEST INSTALLATION AND PROCEDURE
1.1. Trolley
 The trolley shall be so constructed that no permanent deformation appears after the test. It shall be so guided that, during the impact phase, the deviation in the vertical plane does not exceed 5° and 2° in the horizontal plane.
1.2. State of the structure
1.2.1. General
 The structure tested shall be representative of the series production of the vehicles concerned. Some components
