NHTSA intends to issue a full and open, competitive Request for Proposals (RFP) from this solicitation to develop an advanced restraint system that protects rear seat occupants of different sizes, age or body condition, possibly gender, and different crash pulses. For this project the elongation requirement S4.2(c) specified in Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard No. 209 will be removed. Also, to evaluate the final advanced restraints system, NHTSA plans on using advanced crash test dummies. This may include the 50th THOR-NT and the 5th female THOR. These dummies will be provided by NHTSA. The demonstrated system should be able to meet the following objectives listed below: •1. To identify, design, optimize, and fabricate a prototype advanced restraint system for rear seat occupants. The system should address a range of occupant sizes, conditions and multiple frontal high-speed crash pulses. This project should establish the baseline performance of a non-advanced system and show the occupant safety improvements of the advanced restraint systems. This advanced restraint system for the rear seat occupant does not have to meet the requirements specified in section 4.2 (c) of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) No. 209*. •2.
