The European regulation 78/2009 was finally published in 2009. The so called “Phase 2” includes modified test parameters and a new time schedule. The different phases of the regulation will enter into force 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. While UN R127 requires Flex PLI from September 2017, new impactor designs are currently under development which will take the missing upper boy mass into account.

Pedestrian protection has also received additional weight within the Euro NCAP rating scheme. The overall rating forces car makers to improve pedestrian protection, in order to receive 4 or 5 star ratings. The test for autonomous emergency brake systems for pedestrians that was introduced in 2016 will be extended to cyclists in 2018. China-NCAP will also introduce a pedestrian protection assessment including an AEB test in 2018. US NCAP will introduce a pedestrian protection assessment into its upgraded rating.

The PraxisConference, which will be held for the 12th time in 2017, 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 are 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 demonstrations. Moreover, solutions implemented in new vehicle models are presented and discussed.
