A crash test dummy is a sophisticated anthropomorphic test device (ATD), designed to correlate closely with the dimensions and characteristics of the human body. Crash test dummies can simulate the movements of a real human during impact crash testing.
The results gathered during and after testing give a measurable indication of the protective performance of a vehicle or item of motor vehicle equipment with respect to the safety of human occupants or pedestrians.
Crash test dummies have been used in safety analysis for many years and have proved indispensable in their role in providing a biofidelic, measurable, repeatable, and reproducible alternative to cadaver testing. ATDs offer an unparalleled opportunity to measure and evaluate the effects of collisions upon various human forms with the purpose of helping vehicles meet regulations relating to transportation and safety.
The Q Series of crash test dummies covers the Q0, Q1, Q1.5, Q3, Q3s, Q6 and Q10, each one based on the 50th percentile of children of the respective age. Q Series Dummies are used in safety testing by Euro NCAP and given a child seat rating, whilst more recently the European regulation ECE R129 was brought in to promote the use of enhanced child restraint systems.

THOR 50th Percentile Male Dummy
We have completed our first Test Device for Human Occupant Restraint (THOR) dummy.
Q6 Dummy
The Q6 Dummy was developed as a result of the 1993 International Child Dummy Working Group (CDWG), formed to develop the Q-series as the successor of the P-Dummy series. Consisting of research institutes, Child Restraint System (CRS) and dummy manufacturers and OEM’s, this group determined the anthropometry, biofidelity, measurement capabilities and applications for the new family of dummies. The first dummy to be developed by the group was the Q3.
Q3 Dummy
The Q Series of child dummies was developed to replace the P Series dummies in ECE R44 and provide an updated range with improved design and durability.

Q10 Dummy & Q10 Upgrade Kit
Cellbond’s Q10 Dummy represents a 50th-percentile child at 10.5 years old and is used in crash tests that determine the safety of Child Restraint Systems (CRS). The Q10 Upgrade Kit improves the performance of the dummy in crash tests. Euro NCAP and China NCAP both selected Cellbond’s design proposals for upgrades to the Q10, which will be used on their future test protocols.

Hybrid III 5th Female Pelvis Assembly
The Hybrid III 5th Female Crash Test Dummy was developed by industry in collaboration with the Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE) Biomechanics Subcommittees, CDC and Ohio State University. The dummy represents the smallest segment of the adult population. In 2013 Cellbond was asked by a major car manufacturer to produce a version of the pelvis assembly to help with availability issues.
