Do you know what all results should pass when a car performs a full vehicle frontal crash test in USA Regulations?!! For a full vehicle crash analysis according to FMVSS 208, the following results are typically output and checked: 🌟Accelerations: - Vehicle CG (center of gravity) acceleration - Occupant head, chest, and pelvis accelerations 🌟Intrusion and deformation: - Vehicle front end intrusion - Dashboard and steering column displacement - Door and roof deformation 🌟 Occupant kinematics: - Head, neck, and body angles - Occupant displacement and rotation 🌟 Restraint system performance: - Seatbelt loads and elongation - Airbag deployment time and pressure - Airbag interaction with occupants 🌟 Injury criteria: - HIC (Head Injury Criterion) - Chest acceleration and compression - Femur force and moment - Neck force and moment 🌟 Vehicle structural performance: - Front end crush and deformation - Vehicle stiffness and energy absorption 🌟Barrier interaction: - Barrier force and displacement - Barrier penetration and deformation 🌟 Energy absorption: - Vehicle energy absorption - Barrier energy absorption 🌟 Simulation validation: - Comparison to physical test data (if available) - Verification of simulation accuracy These results are checked against the FMVSS 208 requirements, which include: - HIC ≤ 1000 - Chest acceleration ≤ 60 g - Femur force ≤ 10 kN - Neck force ≤ 4 kN - Neck moment ≤ 57 Nm - Vehicle front end intrusion ≤ 20 inches Note that additional results and checks may be required depending on the specific test conditions and vehicle configuration.

SLICE NANO: Keeping Pedestrians Safer In addition to advancing crash safety for occupants, automotive manufacturers are improving pedestrian safety through various assessments. To simulate pedestrian impacts, legforms and headforms with embedded DTS SLICE NANO data acquisition systems are propelled into vehicle front bumpers and hoods/bonnets. Our compact data recorders and sensors are seamlessly integrated into the advanced Pedestrian Legform Impactor (aPLI) (shown on the left) and the Pedestrian Headform (shown on the right). Integrated SLICE data acquisition technology enables cable-free testing solutions for greater reliability and flexibility. This injury criteria data is used to develop safer vehicles, protective gear/helmets, and regulations designed to keep Vulnerable Road Users (VRUs) safer worldwide. #DTSTeam #PedestrianSafety #SLICENANO

How DTS' SLICE NANO Data Recorder Helps Keep Pedestrians Safer Safety testing isn't just about keeping occupants safe. In addition to crash testing, auto manufacturers also conduct a variety of pedestrian safety tests. Legforms and headforms with embedded DTS SLICE NANO data acquisition systems are launched into front bumpers and hoods/bonnets to represent a pedestrian being struck by a vehicle. The data is used to advance vehicle designs, safety ratings and global regulations. DTS miniature data recorders and sensors are integrated into the advanced Pedestrian Legform Impactor (aPLI) (shown on the left) and the Pedestrian Headform (shown on the right) to collect critical injury data that is used to develop safer automobiles to protect Vulnerable Road Users (VRU) around the world. #DTS #SLICENano #PedestrianSafetyTesting #VRU

Peace of mind- whether you’re parked or on the go. 🚘🔒 IROAD’s time lapse technology ensures incidents can be captured even when parked up. ✅✅ The camera operates at 1FPS, switching back to regular FPS when impact is detected so crucial moments are captured. #dashcamera #dashcam #dashcamclips #roadsafety #vehiclesafety #roadsafetyawareness #automotive

Dual-Lens Side View Coverage Monitoring Dual-lens design of the long arm camera provides comprehensive surveillance coverage. The CAM1 camera is specifically designed to monitor the side and rear areas of the truck, ensuring that the driver is able to see into the far rear side of the vehicle, thus reducing blind spots and improving safety when changing lanes and reversing. The CAM2 camera, on the other hand, is used to monitor the front side of the truck, helping the driver to see obstacles and pedestrians in the close proximity of the front side of the vehicle, especially when turning or pulling over. This configuration ensures good visibility across the entire side of the vehicle, significantly reducing blind spots and improving driving safety. #Vehiclecmssystem #backupcamerasystem #trucksafetyvision

60 millimeters might not seem like much – but can mean everything in the event of a side crash. For its Pre-Crash Dual Stage Side Airbag, ZF LIFETEC offers car manufacturers the option to better utilize existing vehicle pre-crash sensors for side protection. If the car detects an incoming, unavoidable collision, the first stage of the Dual Stage SAB is triggered, and its first air cushion pushes the occupants away from the doors before the impact. This can create up to 60 mm of space, which can then be filled by the airbag’s second cushion to achieve improved occupant protection.
