TY - JOUR PY - 2006// TI - Assessment of the Flexible Pedestrian Legform Impactor (Flex PLI-G) as a Test Tool for Legislation on Pedestrian Protection JO - Proceedings of the International Research Council on the Biomechanics of Injury conference A1 - Zander, O. A1 - Lorenz, Bernd SP - EP - VL - 34 IS - N2 - A new pedestrian legform impactor with biofidelic characteristics (Flex PLI) showed first good test results on real cars in its version 2004. Aim of a research study at the Federal Highway Research Institute (BASt) was to give an assessment of the latest version of this impactor (Flex PLI-G) as a potential instrument for legislation. A series of tests was made on real cars with pedestrian-friendly bumper according to the EEVC test conditions and limits. Furthermore, a comparison with the EEVC Working Group 17 legform impactor was made within a series of tests under idealized test conditions.
