 Hyundai Motor Group develops Center Side AirbagHyundai Motor Group develops a new center side airbag, further enhancing the safety of its vehicles. The airbag works to separate the space between driver and passenger. This new, additional airbag expands into the space between driver and passenger seats to prevent head injuries of passengers in the front row.

For 60 years now, Mercedes-Benz has been really crunching them up: the first crash test in the history of the brand took place on 10 September 1959. A test car slammed head-on into a solid obstacle. This marked the beginning of a new era in safety research. At present, the Technology Centre for Vehicle Safety (TFS) in Sindelfingen conducts about 900 crash tests plus around 1700 "sled tests" each year.
The third generation of Hövding’s unique airbag for urban cyclists is now being launched. After four years of research and development, the new Hövding is easier to use, can be adjusted in size, has advanced airbag technology and is equipped with Bluetooth for functions such as ICE to contact next-of-kin in the event of an accident.
ANSYS has entered into a definitive agreement to acquire Livermore Software Technology Corporation (LSTC), the premier provider of explicit dynamics and other advanced finite element analysis technology. The purchase price for the transaction is 775 million USD.
As General Motors moves toward its vision of a world with zero crashes, the company partnered with the University of Michigan Transportation Research Institute to understand the real-world effectiveness of some of its available active safety, driver assistance, and advanced headlighting features that may prevent or mitigate different types of crashes. The results show that several of these features are making a statistically significant impact in helping to reduce crashes.
At the Praxis Conference for Autonomous Emergency Braking and Steering in Germany, Humanetics unveiled an exciting new feature on the Ultra-Flat Overrunable (UFO) robot platform. The upgraded UFO will now include an Anti-lock Braking System.
Hyundai Mobis develops a new safety technology for protecting passengers through interworking with the autonomous driving sensor. This new development combined two separate ECU's for airbags and electronic seatbelts into a single unit.
A study by TRL considered the scenario of traditional and autonomous vehicles coexisting, and revealed that 22 % of collisions could be avoided if we supposed that one of the vehicles was replaced by a level 4 automated vehicle. This type of vehicle is controlled for the entire dynamic driving task, both laterally and longitudinally, within a defined use case (e.g. motorway driving) such that the human driver is not required or expected to intervene.
A study by Carnegie Mellon University researchers publishes in the journal Accident Analysis and Prevention lays out the costs and benefits of three driver-assist technologies: blind-spot monitoring, lane-departure warning and forward collision warning. The researchers find that, if these warning systems were installed on all cars in the US, the resulting reduction in crashes would put a lot of money back into consumers' pockets.
Euro NCAP releases the safety ratings of seven car models: Mercedes-Benz’s first electric off-road, the EQC, and their second generation CLA; Škoda’s high-riding Kamiq; the fourth generation SsangYong Korando; BMW’s latest Z4 and the new Audi A1. In addition, the Ford Focus, already tested in 2018, has been reassessed following minor updates to car. All seven cars achieved five-star ratings.
Speeding is the riskiest kind of aggressive driving, according to a unique analysis of data from on-board devices in vehicles. Researchers at the University of Waterloo examined data from 28 million trips for possible links between four bad driving behaviours – speeding, hard braking, hard acceleration and hard cornering – and the likelihood of crashes.
AB Dynamics acquires Dynamic Research Incorporated (DRI) – a supplier of automotive engineering products and services based in California, USA. DRI has expertise in performing full-scale track testing including ADAS and vehicle dynamics tests, along with applied research, human factors and simulation.
Autonomous vehicles are expected to bring enormous benefits to society in terms of enhanced mobility and increased safety. However, these benefits will only materialise if autonomous technologies are introduced in a transparent manner and based on the best global expertise and international cooperation. This is essential to guarantee the highest levels of safety and social acceptance.
The UK’s position as a world leader in the safe testing and roll-out of self-driving vehicles has been further cemented by a new safety regime, called CAV PASS, being pioneered in the UK, Minister of State for the Future of Transport Minister, George Freeman, has announced.
CATARC adopts the advanced Pedestrian Legform Impactor (aPLI) from Cellbond for use in the C-NCAP Management Regulation 2021 from 1 July 2021.
Altair adds Finite Element (FE) Dummy Models from Humanetics to the Altair Partner Alliance (APA). FE dummy models are virtual representations of their respective physical crash test dummy. The FE dummy models are created to simulate the behavior of a crash dummy in motor-vehicle and pedestrian collisions, as well as for aircraft, railcoach and military applications.
