Automotive Testing Technology International magazine (ATTI), for a second year in a row, has awarded Calspan’s Vehicle Crash Test Facility “Crash Test Facility of the Year.” This award is an international honor determined by an independent jury based on subjective performance as well as facts and figures.
Euro NCAP publishes its second to last release of the year. A dozen cars were put to the test against the 2018-2019 protocols. The Tesla Model X, Porsche Taycan, Audi Q7, Renault Captur, Subaru Forester, Škoda Octavia, Ford Mondeo and Ford Kuga all achieve the coveted five-star rating.
A new round of results of the Latin American Child Restraint Systems Evaluation Programme, PESRI, was released with the safety performance of 11 Child Restraint Systems (CRS) models sold in Latin America region.
Good or acceptable headlights need to be standard equipment next year for a vehicle to qualify for TOP SAFETY PICK+, the highest award from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety. In addition, front crash prevention that earns at least an advanced rating in both the vehicle-to-vehicle and vehicle-to-pedestrian evaluations will have to be available. Previously, only the vehicle-to-vehicle rating was required.
Researchers have known for decades that women are more likely to be killed or injured in a car crash. Why haven’t safety regulators done anything about it? An average adult female crash test dummy simply does not exist. That absence has set the course for four decades’ worth of car safety design, with deadly consequences.
A series of crash-test simulations have found that the shape and height of arm rests in the rear seat of cars can reduce the effectiveness child restraints during side impact crashes. The study by Julie Brown, co-director of the Transurban Road Safety Centre at Neuroscience Research Australia (NeuRA), found that the position of arm rests can influence the likelihood of head injuries during a crash, even when a child is correctly strapped into their car seat.
The White House and the U.S. Department of Transportation (USDOT) released ‘Ensuring American Leadership in Automated Vehicle Technologies: Automated Vehicles 4.0’ (AV 4.0). The initiative was announced by U.S. Transportation Secretary Elaine L. Chao in a keynote speech at CES in Las Vegas.

Hitachi Automotive Systems develops of a stereo camera that enables Automatic Emergency Braking (AEB) at intersections relying on stereo camera alone by combining distant object detection with wide angle view, and without millimeter wave radar.
2020 will be a very significant year for global road safety and a great opportunity for India to demonstrate its growing leadership especially in vehicle safety. On 19 - 20 February 2020 the 3rd Global Ministerial Conference on Road Safety will be held in Stockholm, Sweden. This meeting of transport and health ministers is expected to adopt a new target to halve road deaths and serious injuries by 2030.

Bosch is rethinking driver safety and comfort, bringing one of the most overlooked interior components into the spotlight, the sun visor. The sun causes twice as many car accidents as any other weather-related condition due to temporary blindness. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration reports thousands sun glare-related car accidents each year, and 
Euro NCAP rounds off a busy year with the results of ten more vehicles. Five stars were awarded to the Ford Puma, MG ZS EV, MG HS, Nissan Juke, VW Golf and Audi Q8. Three stars were handed out to the Aiways U5, the VW up! and its twins, the SEAT Mii and Škoda CITIGO.
In the Safe Human Interaction Cockpit (SHI Cockpit) made by ZF in partnership with Faurecia, advanced assistance systems and automated driving functions communicate with the driver simply and effectively. The goal is enhanced vehicle safety and comfort from the point of departure to the destination.
ASEAN NCAP has been presented with a Prince Michael International Award for its Crash Test Laboratory at a prestigious ceremony held at The Savoy, London. The other winner under the Safer Vehicles category was: The Transport Research Laboratory - for its Support for The European Commission Pedestrian and General Safety Regulations.
Cameras are increasingly becoming the central sensory organs of automobiles. Surround view systems consisting of several satellite cameras provide an all-around view of the vehicle environment from a bird's eye perspective. Cameras look forward to identify traffic signs, traffic lights or lane markings. And they look back and to the side, for example to make objects in the blind spot visible.
Testing is an integral part of developing any technology, but when creating innovations for commercial vehicles, safety comes before anything else. This is why WABCO puts every new system through a rigorous testing process both digitally and in the real world. Working on innovative, forward-looking technology, makes it paramount that every system is put through increasingly complex test simulations across a range of different scenarios.
