Currently in the CTS-crash test database are almost 40 new crash tests from AXA Switzerland. AXA has reconstructed a wide variety of different impulse and collision situations, e.g. pedestrian collisions, cross-road collisions, rear-end collisions and many more. These crash tests are available for download.

The new cost-effective dummy – exclusively available at CTS

In times of modern accident reconstruction, dummies are frequently used in crash tests.In the case of a precise reconstruction of motion sequences, damages or injuries, the Biofidelic Dummy should be used in the future. These Biofidelic Dummies are constantly developed in cooperation with TU Berlin and are produced according to the latest state of the art technology in a specially designed dummy laboratory at CTS.

For the first time, CTS was represented at one of the largest and most important trade exhibitions for road safety in Shanghai. The focus of the first talks were, in particular, on road traffic restraint systems such as safety barriers and road blockers.

At the end of March, CTS were pleased to welcome more than 100 participants at the Traffic Specialist Lawyers’ Seminar. The Seminar, now for the sixth time, offered a broad spectrum on interesting lectures, inter alia, on themes such as manipulation, theft, rear impact collisions and various administrative offenses. The seminar was traditionally concluded with a high-speed crash test.

Following this successful start into the seminar season 2017, the Insurance Seminar in cooperation with Accidenta GmbH was held on 07.04.2017. Once again, almost 100 participants from the insurance industry were able to attend lectures on current topics in the area of accident reconstruction. In addition to a rear impact collision before the lunch break, participants were once again offered a spectacular crash test to round off the seminar.

At the beginning of March, crashtest-service was again present at the German Road Supplier Day in Cologne. On the exhibition stand, interested parties were given the opportunity to gain an insight into CTS's service portfolio. In particular, accredited crash tests for vehicle restraint systems were the main focus.

In the middle of March, CTS welcomed students from the German Police College once again to the company premises. The 20 participants were given the opportunity to attend a crash test in combination with a visit to the crash facility. In addition to a lecture given by Dipl.-Ing. Peter Schimmelpfennig on current test areas of CTS, Stefan Theil also presented some aspects from the field of accident reconstruction. The afternoon was rounded off by Dr. rer. Nat. Ingo Holtkötter, who reported on the manipulation of vehicles.

The year is drawing to an end and we would like to take this opportunity to thank you for the trust you have placed in us and the valuable cooperation.
We wish you a Merry Christmas and a healthy and prosperous New Year.

It exploded, crashed and burnt on the crash test facility of CTS in Münster. Where vehicles in a controlled manner usually are crashed, this time the facility of crashtest-service was served as a setting for film and television. Under supervision of the fire brigade, a vehicle was blown up for a cinema production. A team of about 20 persons, consisting of cameramen, directors, actors and stuntmen rented the crash facility completely for the time of the shooting.
