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!

Last week, the second Vehicle Security Barrier Conference (VSBC) took place on the CTS crash test site, organized by the BTU Cottbus. The conference was dedicated to improving security in public spaces, particularly in view of the increasing need for protection against vehicle attacks. The aim of the event, which attracted over 100 participants, was to introduce municipalities, event organizers and security experts to solutions and technologies - such as vehicle barriers - for securing public areas and events.

The conference was characterized by high-profile speakers. Mayor Markus Lewe opened the event, while Police President Alexandra Dorndorf gave an insight into the security strategy of the G7 summit. On behalf of the organizer, Christian Weicht gave a presentation on access protection concepts. Detlev Schürmann led the program of the other speakers.

Renowned exhibitors presented their latest access barriers, and as a special highlight, in addition to a crash test in a ditch, a high-security barrier from a manufacturer was also successfully tested live.

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.
