Adding Value to the Bio-fidelity of new aPLI

article imageThe new pedestrian legform, aPLI, has been designed to reproduce a better Biofidelity of human body (legform + upper mass) when impact to a vehicle. However, this Biofidelity can be affected by the physics of the movement during the launch of the aPLI. The family of E-Launchers designed by ADDITIUM include the special feature of full control on the initial jerk, acceleration profile and release jerk, which allows the performance of a perfect pedestrian test, with the right attitute of the aPLI at any time until the impact point.
