Passive Pedestrian Protection
Our approach to finding a solution for passive pedestrian protection involving head impacts is based on our in-house developed intelligent honeycomb.
 
How you benefit from this method:
Minimum need for installation space
Large flexibility
Low costs
No susceptibility to faults
Passive pedestrian protection
An aluminium comb as an energy absorbing link between the upper main chassis beam and the wing should help avoid serious head injuries in the case of an accident. The table below shows typical impact values for the developed deformation element:
A child’s head (3.5 kg / 35 km/h) requires an installed height of 30 mm.
An adult’s head (4.8 kg / 40 km/h) requires an installed height of 60 mm.
Here, an HIC <= 800 for a child's head and an HIC <=1600 for an adult's head was achieved.
