The WorldSID is a new, advanced Worldwide Side Impact Dummy that has the anthropometry of a mid-sized adult male. It has a mass of 77.3 kg, a standing height of 1753 mm and a seated height of 911 mm. Almost every body region is a new, innovative design, setting the WorldSID apart from all existing side impact dummies. It incorporates over 200 available data channels, in-dummy wiring, and an in-dummy data acquisition system (DAS). The dummy is designed to be used for research and future harmonized side impact test procedures as defined by the International Harmonized Research Activities (IHRA) and other organizations. It is expected to have a biofidelity classification of “good” to “excellent” using the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) dummy classification scale. The WorldSID will be the basis for the future development of a side impact dummy family.
