HORIBA MIRA is taking steps to safeguard the UK's future as an automotive safety test engineering powerhouse by investing in its Passive Safety Engineering Centre in the West Midlands - a move that guarantees its continued contribution to the development of critical safety features on vehicles. The organisation is globally recognised as a leader in vehicle safety engineering, validation and verification. This investment is delivering a significant extension to its Passive Safety Engineering Centre, creating a third-generation facility that builds on almost 60 years of safety testing heritage on its site that's close to Nuneaton.
Researchers at Chalmers University of Technology, in Sweden, have developed a new truck front concept to significantly reduce fatal crashes in car-truck collisions. The new truck front comes after the EU regulations for the maximum length of a truck were lifted. Crash tests on the new truck front were carried out by the Swedish Transport Administration, Trafikverket, and show that better truck designs can reduce passenger car compartment deformations by 30-60 percent. This reduces the risk of injury and possible death for the car occupants.
On March 27, 2024, the 2024 Automotive assessment and Innovation Conference with the theme of "Global Collaboration, Common Development" was successfully held in Tianjin, China. More than 400 domestic and foreign leaders and guests, as well as industry experts and scholars, enterprise representatives and media personnel, attended the meeting.
For the first time, Euro NCAP releases the crash avoidance ratings for eight vans in the small panel van category, most of which have equivalent passenger versions. The vehicles achieving Euro NCAP s penultimate Gold rating are the Citroën Berlingo and its twins the FIAT Doblo, the Opel/Vauxhall Combo and the Peugeot Partner, as well as the Renault Kangoo Van and the Volkswagen Caddy Cargo van.
On November 13 and 14, 2024 carhs.training and the Bioengineering Center of Wayne State University, Detroit (USA) will jointly host the 
German sensor specialist ASC is broadening its portfolio of innovative sensor solutions to include quartz-based accelerometers and digital IMUs manufactured by Japan Aviation Electronics Industry, Ltd (JAE). In February 2024, the companies signed a collaboration agreement to ensure access to JAE's technology for customers in Austria, Germany and Switzerland, in addition to ASC's own portfolio of highly innovative inertial sensor solutions.
Highly automated driving functions are already being used in production vehicles, such as the traffic jam assistant. The development of such functions and algorithms is increasingly taking place virtually. This requires not only a digital twin of the individual components, but also a virtual environment that can be captured and understood by the vehicle.
Peripheral vision enables humans to see shapes that aren't directly in our line of sight, albeit with less detail. This ability expands our field of vision and can be helpful in many situations, such as detecting a vehicle approaching our car from the side. Unlike humans, AI does not have peripheral vision. Equipping computer vision models with this ability could help them detect approaching hazards more effectively or predict whether a human driver would notice an oncoming object.
The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety is urging federal regulators to pick up the pace in issuing a requirement for impaired driving prevention technology on new passenger vehicles. In 2021, Congress instructed the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) to issue a regulation requiring the technology.
In a new Global NCAP crash test result the Citroën ë-C3 scores a zero star adult occupant rating and just one star for child occupant safety. The assessment is amongst the final tests in the #SaferCarsForIndia campaign as BHARAT NCAP becomes fully activated this year. Produced in India, the ë-C3 will be available globally for emerging markets. The significance of this disappointing zero star result therefore has worldwide safety relevance.
According to AAA's latest survey on autonomous vehicles, most U.S. drivers either express fear (66 %) or uncertainty (25 %) about fully self-driving vehicles - a fear that has not decreased since spiking last year. However, interest in semi-autonomous technologies such as Reverse Automatic Emergency Braking (AEB) and Lane Keeping Assistance remains high.
