Pedestrian Test Protocol - Euro NCAP

8.5.2 Static pedestrian tests
8.5.2.1 Static pedestrian tests will be performed in the normal way and according to the
usual tolerances.
8.5.3 Dynamic pedestrian tests
8.5.3.1 Where dynamic tests are required, only a lateral impact tolerance of +/-10mm will be
required. The headform shall be aimed at the grid point, the subsequent impact
location on the bonnet top will then be determined by the timing of the bonnet
deployment relative to the propulsion of the headform.
8.5.3.2 The vehicle manufacturer will be required to provide Euro NCAP with data from
numerical simulations performed with the bonnet in the undeployed position.
Simulations are to be conducted with a vehicle speed of 40km/h with all pedestrian
statures that result in head contact to bonnet. Pedestrian models should be selected
from the following statures, a 6 year old, 5th percentile female, 50th percentile male
and 95th percentile male. The pedestrian position and stance to be used in the model
is defined in Section 2.6.1.5.
8.5.3.3 From the simulations both head contact time and the wrap around distance that the
head contacts the bonnet should be recorded.
8.5.3.4 A graph shall be plotted with a best fit straight line as shown in Figure 22. When a
test point is selected, as the wrap distance will be known, the equivalent head contact
time can be obtained from the graph that will be used in the dynamic test set up.

8.5.3.5 The vehicle manufacturer must provide the test laboratory with all the necessary
details of how to trigger the system, monitor trigger signals and replace spare parts.
8.5.4 Upper leg test zones
8.5.4.1 The test sites will be chosen with the bonnet in its un-deployed state. If bonnet
deployment occurs prior to pedestrian contact with the Bonnet Leading Edge,
creating an increased hazard such as higher BLE height and/or bumper lead, the
Euro NCAP secretariat will give consideration to marking out the BLE in the
deployed state.
8.5.4.2 Unless there is concern about additional hazards being created by the bonnet
deploying prior or during pedestrian contact with the Bonnet Leading Edge, all
upper legform to bonnet leading edge testing will be carried out with the bonnet in
