Review, Insight, Outlook: First VAIVA Hackathon
Laptops on, snacks at hand, idea ready and off you go – over an entire weekend. Every minute full of creative power, spinning minds and impressive solutions.
Using human body model simulations in research
We want to reduce serious accident damage to zero. This is our mission, our motivation and our passion. To pursue this goal in the best possible way, in our research we must always include the entire worldwide traffic situation.
Constant focus: information security/ cyber security
When it comes to road traffic safety, at first what usually comes to mind is intelligent assistance systems, connected vehicles or automated/ autonomous driving functions. However, an important part of our activities that is currently becoming an increasing focus of the wider public debate is information security in vehicles, also known as cyber security.
How we work: experiencing and validating functions with the help of driving simulation
Before ADAS (advanced driver assistance systems) and HAD (highly automated driving) functions are street-ready, they must be thoroughly tested and validated. Among other methods, this validation process occurs virtually through the simulation of thousands of individual cases/ situations and physically through test drives in our test vehicles, in real traffic or on the testing grounds.
More in-depth details, more findings: accident research optimizes 3D measurements
Our accident research team is regularly on the road, gathering information and developing corresponding 3D street models, always with the goal of achieving the best possible results for further development activities in order to reduce accident damage to nearly zero. We’ve been extremely well-positioned so far, but we want more.
Our focus: Vehicle safety. End-to-end.
The next couple of years in our industry will be decisive. They will be hard work. They will be awesome - big challenges as well as big impact ahead of us. By: Ole Harms
