Abstract
Dummy models for impact simulation have only been able to assess impact from one direction. Some models are able to evaluate frontal impact, while others can evaluate side impact or rear impact. When evaluating collision safety, separate dummy models are employed depending on whether the dummy models are parallel to the direction of travel or perpendicular. In addition, it is difficult to evaluate the interior fixtures of Japanese railway vehicles because the physiques of dummy models are based on Westerners. Therefore, a human model with a Japanese physique was developed to evaluate various situations in railway vehicles.
