Technical Leader, Passive SafetyDUMMY-Q test software tool- FAQs
Why is it so important to have car crash test dummies in optimal condition for passive safety testing?
The vehicle crash test dummies are elements for biofidelic measurement of the response that a human being would have in the event of a vehicle crash impact. Therefore, dummies are manufactured in different sizes and with specific particularities in order to represent the great variety of human bodies (age, weight, sex...), as they respond differently to the same impact.
As the number of impacts in passive safety testing increases, we obtain valuable information on the response of each body type to a specific type of impact.
In order to guarantee the accuracy and reliability of the data obtained, it is vitally important that the dummies –each model being specific to a particular type of impact– are in optimum condition.
Is DUMMY-Q compatible with the main acquisition systems?
The DUMMY-Q tool has been designed so that the format of the data to be analysed is compatible with most acquisition systems, e.g. Crash designer, Crashsoft or TDAS Control Software.
How does crash test dummies verification work?
There may be tests where only a specific part of the dummy has to be tested (head, thorax, knee...). In these cases, the dummies must be dismantled following a specific procedure to test the corresponding part (pendulum tests, drop head, neck...) and perform the impact.
Finally, we need to collect the data with our acquisition system and download it to DUMMY-Q, where, by selecting the model and specifications of the tested dummy tested as well as the specific body part (validation process), we will obtain an exhaustive calibration report with graphs, and the subsequent Pass/No pass result with a single click.
Why is it so important to verify crash test dummies over time to ensure the quality of vehicle crash test deliverables?
Dummies are a precise measurement element that quantify crash test results. Therefore, it is of vital importance to ensure that dummies are in an optimal condition in order to obtain accurate results and avoid affecting the repeatability and reproducibility of the same type of test.
Furthermore, it must be taken into account that in a significant part of passive safety testing with vehicles, the dummy plays an intermediary role, as it is the dummy which provides parameters and results rather than the vehicle itself.
