Following the request from the last meeting, Dr. Konosu presented some data from J NCAP. J NCAP is also using the possibility to test outside the 60° bumper corners and by now, just for one out of 14 cars tested by J NCAP the possibility was applied. No energy absorbing measures were applied outside the bumper corners at this car. Test results were pedestrian friendly within the bumper corners but not outside. All test results were used for the vehicle rating.

19. Dr. Konosu came back to the presentation given during the last meeting on J-NCAP testing with the FlexPLI outside the bumper test area (document TF-BTA-02-04). He explained that some questions were brought up on this that are now clarified in a revised version TF-BTA-02-04/Rev.1. Specifically, information has been added to explain the asymmetry of the test results at the front end of the car shown and to explain the relationship between the timing of the ligament elongation and the yaw angle. It was noted that the test results show that the yaw angle increases significantly when testing outside the currently agreed bumper corners.
