DUMMIES
							automotive testing, research, compliance standards, crash tests, test tracks.
					Members of the PMG Technologies (family) of crash-test dummies run the full range from the original Hybrid II to the very recent Sid II's. New members are being added every year. Children are not forgotten, as the family includes newborns and youngsters. Both sexes are also represented and Eurodis, Biosid and Sid are available to test lateral collisions.
		Preparation and maintenance of these anthropomorphic test devices are done on site, either following each test program or according to the client's specific requirements. Accelerometers, strain gauges, force and movement sensors and other equipment are installed and checked by the collision area's highly specialized personnel.
			Not content to use them day after day in a variety of impacts, PMG Technologies technicians and engineers also calibrate the dummies using equipment available on site. A variety of data-collection devices are used to ensure that PMG Technologies' little synthetic (family) remains healthy and ready for action. An integral part of the service offered by collision area staff is PMG Technologies' established expertise in high-speed photographic coverage of crashes of all kinds.
