GLOSSARY OF TERMS<br />

Dynamic pedestrian tests - Synchronisation of the headform propulsion device and bonnet<br />

deployment to achieve correct head impact time.<br />

Static pedestrian tests - <strong>Test</strong> to be carried out without the need to trigger the bonnet in due time.<br />

Bonnet is deployed and maintained in place with appropriate systems recommended by vehicle<br />

manufacturer.<br />

Locking devices - systems that reach and remain in the intended position before head impact.<br />

Non locking devices - systems that do not remain in a permanent deployed position or systems that<br />

do not reach the intended position before head impact.<br />

Initiate deployment - Initiation of deployment means that there must be visible movement of the<br />

deployable component, such as the bonnet top. The signal sent from the ECU to the deployable<br />

components alone is NOT considered as ‘initiation of deployment’.<br />
