Simulating falls to protect lives!
Together with our client, Christian Wegscheider, Managing Director of Help-24 in Vienna and the general importer of innovative medical products and electric wheelchairs in the DACH region, we at ALEE - Alliance des laboratoires d'essai européenne - supported the simulation of falls involving elderly individuals. These tests were conducted by crashtest-service.com GmbH in Münster, under the leadership of Mirko Dobberstein, using a special biofidelic dummy to replicate realistic fall scenarios.
The findings are intended to help improve the protection of seniors and patients at risk of falling from dangerous falls.
New test area according to the "TL-Leitbaken 97"
With the general circular "Road Construction No. 23/2022" of December 14, 2022 from the Federal Ministry for Digital Affairs and Transport, Department 07.3, CTS now meets all the necessary requirements to carry out this test. The department was also rated positively in the last DAkkS surveillance audit.
Other relevant standards such as EN 1317, MASH, ASTM F2656/F2656M, DIN SPEC 91414-1, ISO 22343-1 as well as the Technical Guideline - Mobile Vehicle Safety Barriers and EN 12767 can be found at:

Launch of the biofidelic dummy simulation model
In June 2024, the FEM simulation model of the biofidelic dummy for sitting and standing applications was presented at the Impetus Conference in Flekkefjord. This innovative model, which was developed in collaboration with CTS, HTWD, EDAG and AFUS, enables realistic simulations to improve safety and ergonomics in different positions. The publication marks a significant step forward in the research and development of biofidelic dummies.

New standards for guard rails: CTS successfully tests according to DIN CEN/TS 1317-7 and 1317-9 standards
CTS has actively participated in the creation of the standards DIN CEN/TS 1317-7:2024-04 and DIN CEN/TS 1317-9:2024-04.
The new standards describe the test procedure for initial and final structures or removable protective devices. The preliminary standards are intended to replace the current preliminary standard DIN V ENV 1317-4:202-04.
The first tests have already been successfully carried out according to the new standard on the CTS crash test facility.
The standards are available for purchase from DIN Media Verlag:

We look forward to testing your innovative protective devices!
Successful battery test according to ECE R100 9C standards at CTS

CTS has successfully carried out the first tests in accordance with the requirements of the UN ECE R100 9C regulation for REESS. The vibration tests were carried out in the longitudinal and transverse directions for classes M3 and N3 under the supervision of TÜV Thüringen. Corresponding barrier vehicles are available at CTS for all other classes. These important tests not only confirm the effectiveness of our testing procedures, but also the quality and safety of the battery systems we test. As a company with a strong position in this area, we are committed to making our contribution to the development of safe and reliable battery technologies for the automotive industry.

Workshop in the dummy laboratory
The 2-day workshop on the further development of the biofidelic dummy at CTS ends today with Prof. Lars Hannawald and Sandra Beutin from the HTW Dresden and Prof. Heiko Wagner from the WWU Münster.
The results promise innovations in the field of crash test technology and should further improve vehicle safety in the future. Topics included, for example, the implementation of muscles and organs.
FGSV meeting with LIVE crash test at CTS
On 20 and 21.02.2024 the working group AK 3.5.6 met
"Safety equipment at road works (TLP SA)" of the FGSV met successfully at CTS.
The aim of the meeting was to revise the Technical
delivery conditions for e.g. crash barriers, crash barriers and guard rails.
New requirements and test conditions were discussed together
were discussed on the basis of a LIVE test.
