An impact motion tracking system for tracking an object in a three-dimensional space, whereby a motion tracking sensor comprises a housing, a magnetic measurement module and an inertial measurement module; a transmitter module generates magnetic fields; said magnetic measurement module measures magnetic fields generated by said transmitter module, said magnetic measurement modules has a fixed positional relationship with at least one object portion of said object; said inertial measurement module measures at least one of a linear acceleration and an angular acceleration, said inertial measurement module has a fixed positional relationship with said at least one object portion; an electronic processor receives measured signals from said motion tracking sensor; said electronic processor derives an impact motion information for said object portion based on received measured signals from said inertial measurement module; said electronic processor derives a magnetic motion information for said object portion based on received measured signals from said magnetic measurement module; said electronic processor periodically calibrates impact motion information with magnetic motion information; and said object is at least one of a crash test dummy and a vehicle to be crashed.
