WORLD‘S LARGEST CONFERENCE ON PEDESTRIAN PROTECTION
PraxisConference
Pedestrian Protection
The European regulation 78/2009 was finally published in 2009.
The so called Phase 2 will include modified test parameters and a
new time schedule. The different
phases of the regulation will
come into effect in a total of eight
stages, depending on vehicle
categories and masses.
A new Global Technical Regulation
(GTR) on pedestrian protection
was also agreed on in 2009. An
important aspect of this regulation is the fact that it provides for the
new Flex PLI Impactor to replace the current legform impactor.
Pedestrian protection has also received additional weight within
the new Euro NCAP rating
scheme. The new overall
rating, which includes
pedestrian protection, forces
car makers to improve
pedestrian protection, in order
to receive 4 or 5 star ratings
in the future. In addition Euro
NCAP has recently changed its pedestrian test protocol in order to
improve harmonization with the European regulation.
The PraxisConference, which will be
held for the sixth time in 2011, is a
unique event combining lectures
and praxis. The lectures held by
renowned experts, inform about legal
requirements, NCAP tests, recent
findings from accident research as
well as development strategies and tools and active and passive
technical solutions for pedestrian protection.
Highlights of the conference are the praxis sessions held in the
laboratories of Germany’s Federal Highway Research Institute (BASt)
which is operated by BGS Böhme & Gehring GmbH. Test equipment
and impactors are demonstrated and explained in detail. The
preparation, execution and analysis of pedestrian impact tests are
shown in live demonstration. Moreover, solutions implemented in new
vehicle models are presented and discussed.
