SAFER Human Body Model Now a Global Resource for Faster Traffic Safety Innovation

article imageSAFER HBM is a virtual Human Body Model (HBM) a digital human body used in computer simulations to predict how people move and may be injured in traffic crashes. Developed through long-term collaboration between Chalmers University of Technology, Volvo Cars and Autoliv, it has for years been used as an internal capability. Now, SAFER HBM is taking the next step: becoming available for global use, opening up new possibilities for faster, more detailed and more scalable traffic safety development, worldwide.

How Simulation Helps the Automotive Industry Capitalize on the Top Trends

article imageAccording to McKinsey & Co., China is the world's largest, fastest-growing, most competitive automotive market. And that's no accident. Chinese automakers focused on electric vehicles (EVs) are developing them in roughly 24 months, from concept to launch - twice the speed of legacy automakers, where lead times can reach upwards of 40 to 50 months. Similarly, Tesla's lean manufacturing approach has helped it capture significant EV market share. What does this mean for everyone else? Less time to differentiate with new technologies and first-to-market features.

Students Develop Practical Solutions for Data Exchange at the Makeathon XCHANGE4INDUSTRY

article imageInterdisciplinary teams in Paderborn are working on innovative approaches for secure data exchange in industry - in cooperation with WAGO, G. Kraft Maschinenbau, and Werkzeugbau Berger. AI discussions often focus on models and computing power, but the actual basis often remains unnoticed: the data. Without trust, control, and clear rules, data, and thus AI, lose their value. This is precisely where the pressure to act is now becoming concrete for organizations.
