Crash test dummies are full-scale anthropomorphic test devices (ATDs) that simulate the dimensions,weight proportions and articulation of the human body, and are used to measure human injury potential in vehicle crashes.The Hybrid-Ⅲ dummy familywhich is widely used currently refers to selection of the respective percentiles of U.S.adult males and females as design targets.Based on the Chinese National Physical Fitness Surveillance for the year 2000, 2005, 2010 and Chinese standard GB/T 10000-1988, a series of anthropometric parameters for Chinese adults were obtained, and data analysis was conducted between the populationsof China and of ATDs design targets.The results show that there are obvious distinctions between the current ATDs and the recent China population in anthropometry.For 50th-percentiles female, the stature is about 2.6% shorter than the ATDs design targets and the body weight is about 8.03% lighter.For 50th-percentiles male, the stature is about 3.59% shorter and the body weight is about 10.52% lighter, despite there is a tendency that Chinese adults are becoming higher and heavier with time goes on.The implications of these differences will provide an important reference for designing and optimizing vehicle restraint system for Chinese passengers.
