VRU solutions from Dynamic Research

VRU solutions from Dynamic Research Inc. (DRI), an AB Dynamics company, include pedestrian target Soft Pedestrian 360™, surrogate vehicle target Soft Car 360®, and motorcycle target Soft Motorcycle 360™.

Pedestrian target

Pedestrian target Soft Pedestrian 360™ is designed for unrivalled realism, durability, and vehicle protection. It is a Euro NCAP approved pedestrian target that combines low-cost, high-durability, and realistic movement.

Fully articulated pedestrian target: The Soft Pedestrian 360™ simulates the appearance and movement of a real pedestrian more accurately than conventional targets through the use of synchronized active articulation. Its careful design does not have any exposed hard components that can damage test vehicles.

Realistic movement The Soft Pedestrian 360™ has been designed for improved sensor perception and categorization, with its sophisticated active articulation of the knee, hip, shoulder and neck. Its “step-in-sync” gait is automatically synchronized with the target’s position, speed and acceleration.

Minimized damage to test vehicles during crash tests: This target is made of soft, lightweight foam, which separates into low mass components that absorb the energy of an impact. Concealed joint mechanisms and the pole attachment are also encased in foam blocks so no hard mechanical parts come in contact with the subject vehicle.

Designed for efficient testing: The Soft Pedestrian 360™features a modular design that reduces damage to vehicles and increases uptime. Its limbs and head are made of foam and encased in a hard-wearing fabric, which is easy and cost-effective to replace when damaged.

Surrogate vehicle target

DRI’s Soft Car 360® is a lightweight and durable surrogate vehicle target for ADAS testing. It is the official Euro NCAP Global Vehicle Target. It is a whole vehicle target that is durable, lightweight, and collapsible, that enables it to withstand impacts without damaging the test vehicle or itself.

Available in hatchback, sedan and micro versions, the Soft Car 360 is propelled by a separate overrunable robotic platform. Key features:

Realistic: With a combination of photo-realistic outer skin and built-in radar reflectivity, the Soft Car 360 body has been extensively tested by DRI to ensure that it is recognised as a real car.

Durable: Key to the durability is the modular design of the Soft Car 360. It is capable of handling over 100 impacts at 116 km/h (72 mph) and the hatchback version has performed the Euro NCAP 2020 LSS test at a closing speed of 144kph.

Suitable for high-speed testing: The structural design of the Soft Car 360 body results in unparalleled aerodynamic stability, enabling the hatchback version to test at speeds of up to 120km/h – essential for ensuring that the target is reliably recognized by test vehicles’ ADAS sensors.

Motorcycle target

DRI’s Soft Motorcycle 360™ is a Euro NCAP approved, surrogate powered two-wheeler (PTW) target that is durable and realistic. It is stable at speeds of up to 80km/h and complies with Euro NCAP 2023 and ISO 19206-5 draft requirements.

The Soft Motorcycle is reliably recognized by vehicle sensor systems including cameras, radar and LiDAR. Key features:

Realistic: The revolutionary design of Soft Motorcycle 360 mimics detailed measurements of the shape and rider position of the most common motorcycles in current times. This ensures that the target is correctly identified and classified by sensor systems.

Speed-matched rotating wheels: Unlike other motorcycle targets, the Soft Motorcycle 360 has wheels that spin at the same speed as the target’s motion, creating a realistic Doppler effect for radar sensors.

Rigid yet compliant: The Soft Motorcycle 360’s lightweight structure is compliant and can be impacted with minimal risk of damage to the test car or target. The mix of compliance and rigidity reduces vehicle damage while enabling maximum test speeds of 80 Km/h when paired with AB Dynamics’ LaunchPad 80 platform.
