Development and validation of a newborn child dummy: Q0
conference paper
The Q0 dummy is the newest addition to the multi-directional Q-series of child dummies developed in Europe. This dummy represents a 50 percentile six weeks old child. The biomechanical targets, design, materials and instrumentation are in line with the other Q-dummies. The Q0 dummy has been developed as the lower limit dummy for approval of the ECE-R44 group 0 and 0+ seats and has been validated in frontal and side impact sled tests with respect to durability, repeatability and sensitivity. In this paper the development and validation of the Q0 prototype dummy are described.
