Ford Begins Digital Child-Sized Crash Dummy Research


•Ford begins one of the world’s first research projects to build a digital human model of a child with more lifelike re-creations of the skeletal structure, internal organs and brain – to enhance future safety research


•Ford researchers are building the model from child MRIs to better understand how crash forces affect children and adults differently

•Current adult digital models took more than a decade to create and are painstakingly detailed

•Researchers started the project after monitoring and studying injury trends for children who generally are more vulnerable in crashes
