Detail of Dummy Occupant Table field
FIELD Short Definition Definition
DOCCLOC Dummy Occupant Location When the test occupant is seated in a vehicle body (such as when a vehicle body is mounted on a sled and the test occupant is sitting in the vehicle), OCCLOC indicates the location of the test occupant (for example, driver, front passenger, and so forth). DOCCLOC is coded "OT" for all pendulum, drop, pedestrian, and sled tests without a vehicle body.
DOCCSEX Dummy Occupant Sex The sex of the test occupant, applicable to all test subjects except child dummies. "N" is the default value for this field for child dummies.
DSEPOSN Dummy Seat Position The position of the seat at the initiation of the test. For pendulum and sled tests without a vehicle body, the code is "NO"; for drop and pedestrian tests, the code is "NA".
HIC Head Injury Criterion The computed value of the head injury criterion, based on the resultant acceleration pulse for the head center of gravity. In computing this value, the contractor shall use the HIC algorithm supplied by NHTSA.
T1 Lower Boundary of HIC Time Interval The lower boundary of the time interval over which the HIC was computed.
T2 Upper Boundary of HIC Time Interval T2 is the upper boundary of the time interval over which the HIC was computed.
