TRANSPOLIS markets APTS pressure sensors in Japan
TRANSPOLIS produces and markets some news measuring devices : the APTS sensors, developped by IFSTTAR (the French Institute of Science and Technologies in Transports, Land Development and Grid). Since april, the company has found a new distributor for these sensors : FITPACIFIC.
The APTS sensors have been created for dummy serie "Q-Dummies" that represents child between 1 and 10 years old. Vertically implanted in pairs in the abdomen of the dummy, they are the essential tool for the assessment of abdominal injuries that can happen during the bump trail of restraint system for child :
- APTS30 : sensors with a diameter of 30mm for the abdomen of Q1/1.5 dummy
- APTS40 : sensors with a diameter of 40mm for the abdomen of Q3 and Q6 dummies
- APTS50 : sensors with a diameter of 50mm for the abdomen of Q10 dummy
As part of the new regulation ECE R129 (which will replace the ECE R44/04), this new instrumentation is indispensable. Some companies such as DOREL JUVENILE or organizations like the ADAC are already using these sensors.
