The issues related to the use of test dummies for experimental research in the field of automotive engineering have been addressed. The article discusses the historical introduction and development of the dummies in the biomechanical tests, which have contributed to the replacement of, previously conducted tests on corpses or volunteers. The evolution of dummies development Evolution of the dummies construction development to the present times has been presented. Question was raised: what is the “similarity” between the dummy living human being. Contemporary dummies reflect very well features of the human body are made of good quality materials and can be equipped with numerous sensors performing various measurements. Comparative empirical tests carried out with an adult dummy and a living adult of similar parameters such as: size (weight and height) body proportions have been presented. The impact of vibrations on the human occupant riding a motor vehicle was examined, with road tests being carried out of realized driving on various road surfaces within that work and with the data recorded being analysed in the time domain and frequency domain. In the time domain, time histories of the accelerations recorded were analysed and the root-mean-square (RMS) acceleration values were calculated. In the frequency domain, the power spectral density (PSD) values and the absolute transmittance (amplification) values were determined for the acceleration signals recorded. The analysis of the measurement results for the ability to absorb vibration by living human being and the dummy has been done. The differences and similarities between the living human subject and the test dummy have been presented from the point of view of utilizing such subjects for experimental tests.
