Revised and corrected JASIC presentation on cost-benefit scenarios for introduction of the FlexPLI test tool based upon Japanese and US accident data.

Revised presentation on biofidelity aspects of the FlexPLI test tool to correct minor errors.

Revised presentation on injury criteria for the FlexPLI test tool correcting minor errors.

Presentation concerning injury criteria thresholds for the Flex-PLI legform impactor under consideration for the GTR on pedestrian safety.

Presentation concerning the biofidelity of the current TRL legform and the Flex-PLI lower legform impactor under consideration for the GTR on pedestrian safety.

Presentation on the anticipated benefits from use of the Flex-PLI test tool in GTR 9. This improves upon the earlier submission (document GTR9-1-07-Rev1).

Revised review of international accident injury data towards defining the cost-benefit relationship of introducing the FlexPLI test device as a means to reduce tibia fracture injuries.

JASIC response to NHTSA request for experimental validation of model results of the JASIC/JARI CAE correlation study evaluating upper body mass effects in high bumper impacts.

Comparison of the FlexPLI results against the European Enhanced Vehicle-Safety Committee lower legform impactor (EEVC LFI) for same vehicles in response to NHTSA request from fourth GTR9 Phase 2 informal group session.

Additional analysis on cost reduction due to tibia fracture mitigation and on vehicle countermeasure costs.

Japan analysis of moving ram test equipment, assessment of friction impact on test results for labs using inverse test rig, and recommendation for guidance note in PADI.

Presentation on injury thresholds by researchers from Toyota, Honda, and Nissan.

Japanese responses to the US OEM comments on the FlexPLI cost-benefit analysis.

Revised version of the earlier document.

Revised version of the document.

A comparison of tibia bending moment time histories has shown that the exaggerated secondary peak of the FlexPLI model relative to the human model may affect the maximum value for some specific vehicles.

Development of the Flex-GTR Master Leg FE Model and Evaluation of the Validity of the Current Threshold Values against the Flex-GTR Master Leg

Presentation to explain Japan’s preference for using a gauge to ensure a 60° angle over the procedure based on the bumper beam to determine the target impact area for the lower legform.

Explanation of Japanese concerns over differences in the behaviour of the Flex-PLI lower legform impactor in an angled impact compared with a human being based on THUMS analysis in relation to the bumper beam proposal for determining the impact area of the test.

JASIC view urging quick adoption of the bumper test area using a 60° threshold in line with the currently available technology (as opposed to delaying initial implementation while researching and validating further refinements).

JASIC comments on the draft text as presented in document DPPS-01-05/Rev.1.

Validity of Applying the Current Headform to the Pedestrian Head Protection Performance Evaluation Test of a Car at Low Impact Speed

(Corrected version) Review of the revised amendment to introduce the Flex PLI lower legform impactor and related test procedures into the GTR on pedestrian safety protection, including the new bumper test area specifications.
