New focus: Safety requirements upon electric-powered vehicles
About the congress
Never before there has been such a challenging time for the automobile industry as in 2009. Against the background of declining sales, demands from customers are increasing, e.g. greater fuel economy and environmentally friendly vehicle solutions. Ecology in mobility may not be at the expense of safety – safety still stands on top of the list of customer desires.
In the automobile industry there are numerous approaches to improve vehicle safety. This continued development as well as new evaluations flow into Euro NCAP (European New Car Assessment Program). To achieve the highest rating level, passive safety alone is not sufficient. Vehicles must achieve a minimum score in all four safety categories Adult Occupant, Child Occupant, Pedestrian Protection and Safety Assist. Indeed, a negative test result in one single category leads to a drastic reduction in the total result.The correct combination of the various safety systems will play a decisive role. On the one hand, intelligent occupant protection and on the other hand the integration of driver assistance systems must merge to the complete protection system of integrated safety.
The present development boom of electric vehicles not only demands high safety standards but to some extent causes completely new questions. Therefore we would like to discuss this subject at the crash.tech 2010 as well as subjects like test and simulation, accident research, pedestrian protection as well as tangible system benefits for the driver. You will have the opportunity to meet experts and colleagues from research and development and to engage professional exchanges about the present state of technology and current challenges.
We look forward to welcoming you.
