Designing safety restraints for a spacecraft is much more difficult than designing them for automobiles. Injuries that are tolerable after a car crash can prevent an astronaut from exiting his capsule that has just landed in the sea. Also, unlike in a car, impacts are far more likely to come from any direction. Since an Earthward-bound spacecraft crashes every time - each Earth landing is actually a crash - NASA has adopted an extremely low-tolerance policy toward even minor injuries.
The NTSB held a public board meeting, during which it determined the probable cause for the fatal March 23, 2018, crash of a Tesla Model X in Mountain View, California. Based on the findings of its investigation the NTSB issued a total of nine safety recommendations whose recipients include the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, the Occupational Safety and Health Administration, SAE International, Apple Inc., and other manufacturers of portable electronic devices.
The Mahindra XUV300 has achieved Global NCAP’s first ever ‘Safer Choice’ Award, an accolade only available to automakers achieving the highest levels of safety performance for cars sold in India. The XUV300 achieved a five star Global NCAP rating for adult occupant protection and four stars for child occupant protection. It was the highest combined occupant safety rating of any car tested in Global NCAP’s #SaferCarsForIndia campaign to date.
Volvo Cars calls on governments and regulators around the world to address a large inequality in road safety between developed and developing economies. Despite progress made in recent decades, official data shows a significant gap in the number of traffic fatalities between both categories of countries.
JASTI and CT-Sim GmbH announced a joint venture agreement for the entire JASTI European activities. Based in Heidelberg Germany, JASTI Europe GmbH is taking over sales and business responsibility for the entire JASTI portfolio products including ATD for passenger safety, but also impactors for pedestrian safety as well as calibration test equipment’s.
In the first test of its kind, Global NCAP has crashed one of the best-selling pick up model in Africa, the 2019 Nissan NP300 Hardbody, into a second-hand Nissan Navara NP300 manufactured in Europe in 2015. The unique car to car crash test graphically demonstrates the double standard currently applied by Nissan and other car makers to vehicle safety in Africa.
Toyota develops an Acceleration Suppression Function that used big data collected from connected cars to help identify abnormal operation of the accelerator and control acceleration. Toyota plans to install the function in new cars and introduce a new retrofit accelerator control system that will include the function for use with certain existing cars beginning gradually from this summer in Japan.
The safety of autonomous vehicles and driver assistance systems is closely linked to the performance of the sensors used. The driving assistants are dependent on the accurate recording of the environment. The weather has the greatest disturbing influence on the environmental measurement via camera, radar and lidar. Using the SprayMaker from MESSRING, a realistic and reproducible rainy weather situation can be simulated during driving to test ADAS sensors.
ARGOSY announced it is now one of the suppliers approved by Euro NCAP for the Mobile Offset progressive Deformable barrier (MPDB) for overlap tests. Euro NCAP will add by March 2020 the Argosy MPDB barrier face to the approved list in the relevant documents TB22 and TB29.
So far, virtual human body models have been used in crash or impact simulation without clothing. The Human Body Dynamics Team at Fraunhofer EMI successfully developed a modeling method to put a soft ballistic vest on a body model (GHBMC M50-PS from Elemance) while standing.
The final report of the Regional Public Goods (RPG), “Improvements on Vehicle Safety Standards in Latin America and the Caribbean through the adoption of United Nations (UN) Regulations and consumer information systems”, led by the Inter-American Development Bank, analyses the potential effects on public health and the economic impact in the region as a result of the incorporation of vehicle safety technologies.
Dr. Saeed Barbat, the Excecutive Technical Leader for Safety at Ford Motor Company was elected to the National Academy of Engineering (NAE) for leadership in automotive safety and contributions to the science of crashworthiness, occupant protection, and biomechanics.
