To evaluate the efficiency of vehicle protection against mines or IEDs, FMV has decided to apply the method prescribed in AEP-55 (Allied Engineering Publication) Vol 2 and Vol 3. AEP-55 provides for the Hybrid III crash test dummy (HIII) as measurement system. To assess the injury in the feet and lower leg, the axial load Fz in the HIII lower leg is used as criteria for injuries in the lower leg / foot complex. The method is independent of leg position on the floor or footrest it does not matter if the leg, for example, is stretched out or placed perpendicular to the floor of the vehicle. As the method used in AEP-55 is based on the condition that the lower leg is placed perpendicular to the floor it is uncertain how applicable it is when the leg is stretched out or placed on a footrest. It is obvious that there is a need for continued efforts to achieve a validated method for assessing the risk of injury for all reasonable leg positions that may occur in a vehicle. In the short term it is recommended to continue to use Fz for verification and evaluation of vehicle protection. In cases where the position of the legs is very different from that prescribed in AEP-55, it is proposed to also measure and evaluate moments of the tibia according to for example Tibia Index (TI) or Revised Tibia Index (RTI).
