The Applied Technical Services Family of Companies (FoC) offers automotive crash testing services analyzing how vehicles respond to collisions. Automotive safety standards have advanced with technology, so manufacturers are always seeking to implement new features and designs that minimize the risk of harm in the event of a car accident. Our crash testing lab helps manufacturers produce safe and reliable vehicles.
What is a Crash Test?
As their name suggests, automotive crash tests are destructive tests performed on motor vehicles to evaluate the vehicle’s ability to effectively protect its occupants during a crash or accident. The process often consists of cameras, data systems, and crash test dummies, all of which are used to analyze how the external forces associated with car accidents impact the vehicle and its occupants.
Our Automotive Crash Testing Services
Our highly trained engineers lead our automotive crash testing services. We understand and recognize that automotive vehicles must be able to transport their inhabitants safely, so we offer comprehensive services that determine the strengths and weaknesses of vehicles involved in simulated accidents or collisions. The simulations mimic real-world conditions, so the information gained during the testing process provides relevant information on the factors and forces present in real-world accidents. We offer a variety of dynamic impact tests, including:
- High-speed impact tests
- Vertical drop tests
- Full-scale dynamic crash tests
Why is Automotive Crash Testing Important?
Automotive crash tests are an essential component of the automotive manufacturing process. Car accidents are inevitability so automotive manufacturers must properly test and evaluate their vehicle’s design and performance to ensure the following:
- Vehicles have adequate structural integrity
- Seat belt performance
- Airbag performance
Crash tests help regulatory bodies and auto manufacturers improve safety measures for the drivers and occupants of motor vehicles. The information gathered in a crash test can help do the following:
- Improve automotive design
- Identify a vehicle’s weaknesses
- Inform consumers of the assumed risks that accompany a vehicle
