Flexpoint Sensor Systems, Inc.  today announced they have recently completed the current phase of internal testing of their Pedestrian Impact Detection System as requested by European and U.S. Automotive Suppliers. This fulfills a requirement and brings Flexpoint closer to consummating an agreement.

Flexpoint's Pedestrian System recently completed extensive testing following protocol created by European Enhanced Vehicle-Safety Committee guidelines. The results confirmed the system is capable of distinguishing between a human leg and inanimate objects within milliseconds. Upon impact, the Bend Sensor(R) can trigger a safety response which may include raising the hood, lowering the engine block, or tightening the seat belt.

Flexpoint Sensor Systems, Inc. has developed and patented the Bend Sensor(R) technology. The Bend Sensor is a technological breakthrough that offers a superior solution for applications that require accurate measurement and sensing of deflection, acceleration and range of motion. Global market opportunities include automotive, medical, industrial controls, government, health and fitness, security, computer, aerospace, transportation and consumer products.
