Dummy Positioning System (DPS)

• Standard DPS 3-Camera DPS-1003-HR

The Humanetics Dummy Positioning System (DPS) is a high-precision camera-based coordinate measuring machine (optical CMM).

It streamlines and standardizes your ATD / crash test dummy positioning for virtual and physical testing. DPS will significantly reduce pre-crash setup time while ensuring accurate and repeatable results.

Unlike other traditional stationary CMM systems, DPS is fully mobile and portable.

Positioning Data Should Move Freely

Small differences data measurement can produce vastly different outcomes.

• A few millimeters in dummy posture 
• A slight change in pelvis angle 
• A different reference point in seat positioning 
• Variations like these affect injury metrics, prevent repeatable tests, and undermine the confidence engineers have in their results.

Accurately capturing 3D metrology data solves this.

Sample Workflow

• The DPS (Dummy Positioning System) cameras capture and display 3D metrology data in real-time during positioning
• DPS Studio helps you evaluate then transfer data for further use
• Safety Studio evaluates occupant posture within vehicle interior design environments using the same CAD geometry of Crash Test Dummies
• APT Connect® applies that positioning to crash simulation models
