It was found that many of factors would evidently affect the calibration results in Hybrid III 5^th Female Dummy neck calibration tests. This paper developed a BP neural network model for analysis and prediction of the relationship between calibration parameters and neck deceleration characteristics. The input parameters of the BP model are calibration temperature, impact velocity of pendulum, cells of honeycomb and its cut style, the output parameters of the model are three neck velocities at the moment of 10, 20 and 30 ms, respectively. The model consists of a three-layered feed-forward back-propagation neural network. The network is trained with pairs of inputs/outputs datasets generated from 30 calibration tests. A very good performance of the neural network, in terms of agreement with additional experimental data was achieved.
