DUMMY-Q is a toolbox developed by IDIADA after more than 20 years’ experience conducting passive safety activities. The knowledge accumulated by IDIADA’s experts has made it possible to design a crash test dummy certification software that is specifically custom-made for all potential users.
DUMMY-Q is easy to use, delivers immediate results and provides all the necessary graphics to effortlessly understand what elements need to be adapted to successfully pass the certification test.
IDIADA’s car crash test dummy certification software efficiently processes dummy qualification test data according to state-of-the-art regulations. It generates final reports including Pass/No Pass results for every requirement, as well as the main graphs showing sensor response time.
The tool is an essential part in the crash testing toolchain, as it allows strict maintenance and calibration control of the dummies and ensures the delivery of consistent quality results over time.
Why is it so important to maintain strict maintenance and calibration control of crash test dummies in passive safety testing?
Test data quality strongly depends on the equipment used during the test, and in the case of passive safety, crash test dummies are a key element that require strict maintenance and calibration control. However, dummy performance is prone to decreasing after a certain number of tests, so in order to accurately simulate human behaviour, test laboratories dedicate extensive hours to qualification.
DUMMY-Q offers a complete solution from data acquisition to the final report, significantly reducing time and human effort.
