Abstract

An investigation with the EEVC WG 17 Pedestrian Legform Impactor at the Federal Highway Research Institute in order to find causes for possible measured value variations was initiated after a test series with different legform impactors showed partially unacceptable scatters regarding the bending angle, shearing displacement and acceleration. Several sets of impact tests were performed and the standard deviation of the repeatability and reproducibility was assessed. Results of tests under idealised impact conditions were first validated by a comparison to real vehicle tests. A recently drawn up handling guideline will improve the reproducibility of component tests with the legform impactor. For the covering abstract see ITRD E134311.
