EUROPE'S BIGGEST CRASH EVENT FOR DUMMIES AND MEASUREMENT TECHNOLOGY
The DUMMY CRASH TEST CONFERENCE is specifically aimed at everyone who deals professionally with crash tests, dummies and measurement technology, including accident researchers, experts and engineers/technicians from the automotive and supplier industry. Furthermore, a large part of the event deals with the latest findings from tests by our partners from research institutes and the military sector.
The dummies used in standardized crash tests were developed with the aim of determining measured values in a reproducible manner and thus enabling different tests to be compared. These include the THOR-50M dummy developed by Kistler and produced at the Heidelberg site. For applications that deviate from the standards, the use of such dummies does not always make sense due to their unidirectionality and the high costs. The PRIMUS biofidelic dummy offers an alternative here, especially in the field of vibration tests, autonomous driving and in the airbag industry. On the one hand, the PRIMUS dummy will be presented at this congress, which, due to its construction, the materials used and the resulting human-like behavior, represents nothing other than a revolution in dummy technology. In addition, the congress offers you lectures from the areas of dummy development and production, crash measurement technology, barrier solutions and software for data acquisition and evaluation.
The program is rounded off with various real tests on the adjacent test site and numerous exhibitors.
