The Flex-PLI (Flexible Pedestrian Legform Impactor) simulates the flexible nature of the human leg bones. The impactor represents a 50th percentile male leg which is struck from the right side.

The Flex-PLI (Flexible Pedestrian Legform Impactor) simulates the flexible nature of the human bone. It is fired from a linear guide into the bumper of a static vehicle at 40 km/h for the assessment of pedestrian lower leg and knee injuries.

The Flex-PLI is the second-generation of legform impactors. Compared to the original TRL Pedestrian Legform, key updates include an advanced knee design and instrumented deformable bones. This allows for assessment of tibia injuries and better assessment of knee injuries.

The SLICE Flexible Pedestrian Legform Impactor (FLEX PLI) integrates the ultra-small SLICE NANO data acquisition system into a cable-free pedestrian safety testing solution. The ultimate in flexibility, reliability and repeatability, the SLICE FLEX PLI Legform eliminates all trailing cables.

Flex-GT version in 2006. The FLEX-PLI features biomechanically based femur, tibia and knee design, with biofidelic. bending characteristics. In the knee the ligaments are represented accordin.

FLEX-PLI-GTR is offered with 12 channel standard instrumentation, measuring tibia and femur bending moments and knee ligament elongations as well as tibia acceleration in impact direction.

The lower leg impactor Flex-PLI is used for the development and evaluation of vehicle pedestrian protection performance. It mainly includes the response of thigh bending moment (upper, middle, lower), knee ligament stretch (MCL, ACL, PCL, LCL) and calf bending moment (upper, middle upper, middle lower, lower), and can be measured through the ...

The leg is struck with an 8.1 kg linear guided impactor with a honeycomb face fired at 11.1 m/s (40 KPH). The “FLEX-PLI” energy absorbers are supplied as pre-cut blocks according to the testing requirements.

Sep 22, 2021 · Recently, the Flexible Pedestrian Legform Impactor (or Flex-PLI) - an advancement over the existing EEVC legform - was included in the Global Technical Regulation for Pedestrian Safety viz. GTR-9.
