ABSTRACT This review addresses how women and men are represented in regulatory tests conducted to assess adult occupant safety in vehicles. Injury statistics show that protection in the event of a crash is lower for females than males. Still, vehicle crash safety assessment for adult occupants is only using the average sized male to represent the entire adult population, while the average sized female is not represented. In order to enable car manufacturers and road safety regulators to safeguard that females benefit equally from crash safety measures as males, it is necessary to develop new dedicated occupant models. These new models must represent the female part of the population, i.e. crash test dummies and human body models representing the average female. New female models would, together with their male equivalents, make it possible to identify the vehicle occupant safety systems which provide the best safety features for both females and males.

道路安全：平均男性作为车辆乘员碰撞安全评估的标准

摘要 本次审查讨论了女性和男性在为评估车辆中成人乘员安全而进行的监管测试中的代表情况。伤害统计数据显示，女性在发生碰撞事故时的保护能力低于男性。尽管如此，针对成年乘员的车辆碰撞安全评估仅使用平均体型的男性代表整个成年人群，而没有代表平均体型的女性。为了使汽车制造商和道路安全监管机构能够保障女性与男性同样受益于碰撞安全措施，有必要开发新的专用乘员模型。这些新模型必须代表人口中的女性部分，即碰撞测试假人和代表普通女性的人体模型。新的女模特会和她们的男模特一起，
