J3116_202301 Active Safety Pedestrian Test Mannequin Recommendation

Improving pedestrian safety is one of the major goals for active safety systems. As more active safety systems, especially the automatic emergency braking systems, are introduced to the market, a standard surrogate pedestrian target is needed for automotive industries to test and evaluate the PCS systems. SAE International created an Active Safety Pedestrian Test Mannequin Task Force under the Active Safety Systems Standards Committee to study this topic and to recommend a mannequin standard. All members of the task force are from industry, government, and academia and many members had experience in using and/or developing pedestrian mannequins and testing them. The task force gathered information of all mannequins known to the committee members and analyzed the state of the art features of these mannequins. The goal of the Pedestrian Test Mannequin Task Force is to develop standard specifications/requirements for pedestrian test mannequins (one adult and one child) that are representative of real pedestrians to the sensors used in forward looking pedestrian detection systems and can be used for performance assessment of such in-vehicle systems (including warning and/or braking) in real world test scenarios/conditions. This document is the result of committee study and recommendation.

SAE J3116 has been reaffirmed to comply with the SAE Five-Year Review policy.
