SensorLeg is a new biofidelic impactor for use in testing and developing contact sensor technology employed in active safety pedestrian systems. It enables vehicle and component developers to accurately test and evaluate new active safety pedestrian systems (e.g. pop-up bonnets) which are designed to reduce head injury in the event of a pedestrian impact. The impactor is the most human-like leg available and is modelled on a 50th percentile male, simulating human muscle shape, flesh density and bone fracture.
