{wiki=Crash_test_dummy}
A crash test dummy, also known as a crash dummy or anthropomorphic test device (ATD), is a life-sized model that simulates the human body during vehicular crash testing. These dummies are used to assess the safety of vehicles and their safety features by providing data on how the human body responds to various types of collisions. Crash test dummies are equipped with various sensors and instruments that measure forces, accelerations, and other data during a crash test.
