Biomechanics Test Database
The NHTSA Biomechanics Test Database is a repository of experimental data used by NHTSA for developing Anthropomophic Test Devices and associated Injury Criteria. The data is disseminated via this website for use by academia, the automotive industry, and the public to improve the safety of automobiles and reduce death and injuries on our nations highway. Because of the nature of the testing, the applicability of the data extends far beyond auto safety, and may be useful for those in the sports medicine, space travel, aircraft, military or any activity where the human body is exposed impact.
