TTAI Crash Testing Facilities
In our fully-equipped and state-of-the-art facilities we perform tests on a whole range of automotive applications, both indoor and outdoor. From vehicle components or even aircraft parts via passenger cars to busses and trucks up to a gross weight of 22 tons.
Full scale crash testing
This facility offers the entire range of testing capabilities necessary to cover all existing legal and customer-specific requirements. We perform frontal, side and rear impact tests, vehicle-to-vehicle tests with cars, trucks and buses and rollover tests. On our outdoor proving ground we test road furniture like lamp posts and guardrails, for which we are one of the accredited test centres.
Inverse crash sled
Our inverse crash sled is a unique simulator designed to test occupant restraint systems, vehicle and aircraft seats and all other interior vehicle components, either in subcomponent- or full body-in-white-testing.
An innovative propulsion system makes it possible to set up the most complex tests, such as whiplash testing or side impact simulation. Closed loop acceleration control assures an optimum quality of pulse adaptation with outstanding frequency response and repeatability. With payloads up to 3.000 kg we can cover the complete range from passenger cars to fully equipped truck or bus cabins.
Laboratory for pedestrian & interior protection and components
This highly advanced testing resource is dedicated to both vehicle front structure impact tests with head, lower- and upper-leg-forms and to impact tests within the vehicle interior. We realise an outstanding accuracy in impact speed, target hit and reproducibility, and are able to analyse your test results within minutes. The component testing area allows for roof and door intrusion tests, knee impact tests against instrument panels, and static airbag deployment tests for out-of-position assessment. We can accommodate many more variations on your specific request.
