Passive and impact-activated vulnerable-road-user protection
D06 evaluates how the production exterior manages head, pelvis and lower-extremity impacts, together with additional local-zone or active-exterior performance assigned by the released protocol.
Pedestrian and cyclist avoidance, including AEB outcomes, is scored in D02. A cross-domain gate may connect the evidence, but the same avoided collision is not scored again in D06.
| Criterion | Proposed scoring ownership | Points |
|---|---|---|
| D06.1 | Vulnerable road user head impact protection | 40 |
| D06.2 | Pelvis and lower-extremity impact protection | 30 |
| D06.3 | Local-zone and active-exterior performance | 10 |
| D06 total | 80 | |
Head impact zones
Mapped production zones may include bonnet, bonnet edge, windscreen regions and other structures selected by the released method. Exact impactors, limits, zones and scoring curves remain protocol-controlled.
Pelvis and lower extremities
Evidence examines the injury metrics and structural response assigned to pelvis and lower-extremity protection without treating a favourable surface average as proof that every local zone is acceptable.
Active exterior protection
Where fitted, deployable exterior mechanisms are assessed for detection, deployment timing, performance and non-deployment conditions under the released D06 method.
Configuration and accessories
Relevant accessories, tow equipment, decorative structures or armour changes are examined where they alter the rated exterior and its impact performance.
Scoring ownership
D06.3 may score only its additional assigned property; it does not duplicate head or leg metrics already counted in D06.1 or D06.2.
AEB-Pedestrian and AEB-Cyclist evidence belongs to D02.2. Annex F test severity, injury criteria and scoring functions remain subject to released protocols.
