The U.S. Transportation Department has introduced a new crash test dummy, THOR-05F, specifically designed with female-specific proportions. This advancement aims to improve safety standards by better representing women in vehicle crash testing. Traditional crash test dummies are often based on male physiques, potentially leading to inaccurate data regarding female injury patterns. THOR-05F will allow for more realistic and comprehensive assessments of safety features and their effectiveness in protecting women during car accidents. This development marks a significant step towards addressing historical biases and creating safer vehicles for all occupants.
