Résumé / Abstract
In November of 1997, ISO (the International Organisation for Standardisation) initiated WorldSID, a global project operating under the auspices of the ISO vehicle safety sub-committee: TC22/SC12. The objective of the group was to develop a harmonised, advanced mid-size male side impact dummy. The ISO working group on crash dummies (ISO/TC22/SC12/WG5) took the unprecedented step of inviting, not only ISO member organisations, but all those involved in crash testing to come together to develop an advanced dummy that would be universally acceptable. The working group that was formed, and which is still very active, consists of participants from car manufacturers, governmental organisations, research institutes, test houses and dummy and instrumentation manufacturers.
