The 5th Dummy.Crashtest.Conference is aimed at professionals working in the fields of crash tests, dummies, and measurement technology. This event is particularly relevant for the automotive and supplier industry, the aerospace industry, research institutes, safety equipment providers, accident researchers, engineers, and military research. It offers valuable insights for these sectors.

A key focus of the conference is the use of dummies, which were specifically designed for standardized crash tests to collect reproducible data and enable comparability across different tests. An example of this is the THOR-50M dummy, developed by Kistler and produced at their Heidelberg site. 
The PRIMUS dummy presents an exciting alternative, particularly in areas such as vibration tests, autonomous driving, and the airbag industry. In a special workshop, the PRIMUS biofidelic dummy will be introduced – a groundbreaking model that, thanks to its design, materials, and human-like behavior, represents a true revolution in dummy technology.

Additionally, the conference will feature presentations on dummy development and production, crash measurement technology, barrier solutions, and software for data collection and analysis. The event will also include practical real-world tests on the crash test facility.

A special highlight: In addition to the side collision with the ERNST barrier, a live X-ray crash test against a tree barrier will be conducted for the first time in collaboration with the Fraunhofer Institute EMI – a unique opportunity to witness the latest advancements in crash test technology.

The biofidelic Dummy from CTS is a modern alternative to the traditional punching bag. With its adjustable defensive stances, it enables realistic training for boxers, martial artists, and self-defense courses.

Your benefits at a glance:

✔ Realistic training conditions with adjustable human-like postures

✔ Versatile use in boxing studios, fitness centers, and self-defense courses

✔ Improved technique and reaction skills through interactive training

The biofidelic Dummy is ideal for anyone who values practical and effective training.

At the last fire service congress, CTS presented the new unbreakable biofidelic special dummy for the first time - presented as part of the Crashdays 2024 fire service seminar.

In collaboration with Vetter, the dummy was dropped from a height of 20 meters onto a special jump cushion. Thanks to its human-like properties, rescue scenarios can now be recreated even more realistically and safely.

Ideal for training with rescue cushions and for optimizing operational strategies!
