Soft Bicycle 360™

A next-generation bicycle target with stability, realism and durability

Reimagined target design

The Soft Bicycle 360 is a VRU bicycle target that revolutionizes bicycle testing scenarios, making them easier, faster, and more efficient to set up. Crafted from lightweight foam, its rider, frame, and tire profile create a realistic yet durable target that minimizes vehicle damage during testing.

Realistic

Designed with realism in mind, the Soft Bicycle 360 is recognized as a real bicycle by sensing technologies, including camera, radar, and lidar. The Soft Bicycle’s rotating wheels also provide speed-matched Doppler effect for effective detection by radar sensors.

Minimized damage

The Soft Bicycle 360 has been designed to minimize damage to vehicles under test. Made from soft, lightweight foam, it is 30% lighter than comparable targets, reducing the potential for damage to test vehicles upon impact while still being highly durable. Its single piece frame is made from thin, rubberized material ensuring compliance during impact, while strategically placed internal reinforcement provides the necessary stiffness for stability.

The advanced wheel design, featuring soft nylon string spokes and a soft wheel rim, eliminates hard points that could damage test vehicles.

Efficient testing

Engineered to maximize track time, the Soft Bicycle 360 features a modular design that allows for quick rebuilds and efficient repositioning. Its smooth running wheels enable the test platform to be reversed to its starting position to repeat the test, significantly improving test efficiency.

Product Specifications

The Soft Bicycle 360 is designed for comprehensive surrogate bicycle testing and is compatible with the AB Dynamic SPT and LaunchPad range, including the LaunchPad Spin.
