Efficient Calculation for the Euro NCAP Crash Test

article imageVehicle manufacturers, therefore, cannot afford not to take pedestrian protection seriously, since this could lead to problems with homologation (vehicle type approval) by the relevant authorities. And if they do, they are also penalized in crash tests by private institutions, as they are refused the top five-star rating in consumer protection tests in line with Euro NCAP standards. Test results like the ones published by the ADAC each year, for example, are an important sales argument here.

20 Years of the European Road Safety Charter

article image20 years after the signing of the European Road Safety Charter, the expert organization DEKRA, one of the 39 original signatories in 2004, is calling for road safety efforts not to slacken. "Despite all the successes that have been achieved over the past two decades, we have to face the fact that the number of road deaths has only been falling very slowly for around ten years", says Jann Fehlauer.

Back2Back Test Bed

article imageThe increasing number of electric vehicles leads to a growing demand for corresponding testing equipment. Conventional test beds for combustion engines are reaching their capacity limits. Unlike combustion engines, electric motors are capable of converting energy in the opposite direction. When an electric vehicle is decelerated, power is fed back into the battery. This now opens up entirely new concepts for testing methods that are comparatively simple and compact to use.

Crash Testing Extras

article imageThe development of new vehicles is often challenging during the initial phases of crash testing. Particularly during early program crash tests, the ability to efficiently use test articles while collecting the maximum amount of data is necessary to push the development further along. With decades of experience in this industry, MGA is well equipped to provide additional services relating to specific data / visual / measurement parameters as needed.
