Euro NCAP approves DRI's pedestrian target for ADAS testing

Euro NCAP ADAS testing evolves to better simulate real-world scenarios, with products like AB Dynamics' meeting high standards

The Soft Pedestrian 360, a state-of-the-art VRU (Vulnerable Road User) target developed by DRI, a leading provider of ADAS test equipment, has been approved by Euro NCAP for official testing. The approval means that the Soft Pedestrian 360 can now be used to evaluate the performance of vehicle safety systems in all Euro NCAP's pedestrian adult-based test scenarios. The target has undergone a rigorous assessment process and demonstrated that it meets the specific requirements set by Euro NCAP. Key features of the Soft Pedestrian 360 include sophisticated articulation, modular architecture, protected servos, and hard-wearing fabric clothing. The Soft Pedestrian 360 is the latest addition to the company's range of Euro NCAP-approved test equipment, which also includes the Soft Car 360 and the Soft Motorcycle 360 ADAS targets and the LaunchPad target propulsion systems.
