INSIA Passive Safety Laboratory tests.

Dynamic crash tests and instrumented anthropomorphic dummies certification tests.


Services offered description:

Carrying out dynamic crash tests in order to assess the safety of the equipment and vehicles used in road and railway transport. These tests are carried out both for research and for the approval of vehicles that must meet the requirements of current regulations.
Carrying out dummies certification tests and calibration tests of its instrumentation. The aim of that tests is to verify the preservation of the of the dynamic response of the impact test dummies and the calibration of their sensors.


Requirements covered and applications:

In the impact biomechanical research, crash tests are useful to understand and improve the impact dummies behaviour and the injury criteria development. In addition, they are used to create and develop new restraint systems. These are usually carried out in order to get biomecanical parameters, which will be compared with the results obtained from corpse tests or virtual human body models during impact situations. They are also used to develop Standards for passenger protection.
Road and railway transport vehicles for passengers, must meet some standard safety requirements. It is usual there are multiple crash tests among those requirements. Therefore, manufacturers have to test their vehicles in specialised laboratories with the purpose of commercialise them.
On the oder hand, there are some equipments or restraint systems that have to be checked by impact tests as well.


Sector or application area:

Automotive, railway and aeronautical sectors.


Differential capabilities:

Very few laboratories perform this type of testing, due to specialised and expensive equipment is required. In addition, staff with specialised abilities are required both for manipulate the equipment and for process the test results. Head of Laboratory has 25 years expertise and deep knowledge about impact dummies behaviour.
