Infineon and Kontrol join Forces to improve the Safety of Autonomous Vehicles

article imageInfineon Technologies AG and the Austrian product compliance company Kontrol are entering into a strategic partnership to make the future of mobility as both legally compliant and safe as possible. In the field of autonomous driving, legal requirements, standards, norms, and court rulings still pose major challenges for all market players. For authorities and vehicle registration services, the challenge is to find a safe and cost-efficient approach to autonomous driving licensing in public transport, typically in the form of laws and technologies.

NHTSA releases its U.S. Spring 2023 Regulatory Agenda

article imageThe 2023 spring agenda signals NHTSA's continued commitment to move forward with its updates in automotive safety and provide the latest advanced crash test dummies for use in evaluations. Included are updated timeframes for the Federalization and Regulatory inclusion of the THOR-50M, THOR-5F, WorldSID-50M, and Pedestrian Safety. These particular new dates are specific to the Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards (FMVSS) rulemaking but are precursors to the upcoming U.S. NCAP inclusions of these advanced safety devices.

D-TRAS Digital Platform for Traffic Safety-risk Prediction in Rural Areas

article imageIn the D-TRAS project, a digital platform is being developed to warn road users (car and motorbike drivers) of possible traffic risks, mainly on roads in rural areas. This includes mountain roads in particular. A demonstrable traffic risk can arise if the driver is not concentrated or distracted, or if there are special environmental or road conditions, or if they change unexpectedly.

Car Industry piling on the Pressure for weak Assisted Driving System Safety Rules in Europe

article imageETSC is warning that the current proposals for a new UN regulation on so-called Level 2 driver assistance systems like Tesla Autopilot could create additional risks of serious collisions, with no proven safety benefit. Current UNECE rules, known as UN Regulation 79, which apply in the European Union, only allow advanced functions such as assisted lane changes to occur on motorways, where the two lanes of traffic are separated and pedestrians and cyclists are not permitted. Such systems also require the driver to instigate the lane change, by using the vehicle indicator lever.

CTS at the Pedestrian Protection Practice Conference

article imageAt the practical conference on pedestrian protection organised by carhs and BGS, the BAST (Federal Highway Research Institute) carried out a reconstruction of a cyclist accident using a PRIMUS breakable biofidelic dummy. This was a crashtest that had already been carried out before with a classic ATD. After the test, the dummy was cut open by Dr Dobberstein, inspected and examined for damage indicative of injuries to a real person. Although the moderate damage to the dummy indicates serious injuries, it also shows how well pedestrian protection measures can work even in an older vehicle.
