美国交通部批准使用一个新的女性坠毁测试假体THOR-05F, 以改善女性的车辆安全测试, The U.S. Department of Transportation has approved the use of a new female crash test dummy, THOR-05F, to improve vehicle safety testing for women, who are 73% more likely to suffer serious injuries in crashes. 假体反映的是具有150多个传感器和现实特征的平均女性解剖,解决了自1978年以来主要使用男性形假体进行测试造成的长期安全差距。 The dummy reflects average female anatomy with over 150 sensors and realistic features, addressing long-standing safety gaps caused by testing primarily using a male-shaped dummy since 1978. 虽然目前在客座和后座使用,但不久将在驾驶员职位上测试。 While currently used in passenger and back seats, it may soon be tested in driver positions. 将该系统纳入五星级安全评级系统的最后规则尚待通过。 Final rules for integrating it into the five-star safety rating system are pending. 立法者和倡导者支持这一行动,尽管有些汽车制造商对安全评级的潜在影响表示关切。 Lawmakers and advocates support the move, though some automakers express concern about potential impacts on safety ratings.
