Technology ServicesPassive Safety
We have a wide range of facilities for testing and validating the passive safety aspects of vehicle components, subsystems and structures and entire vehicles. The high level of equipment in our laboratories and the advanced technical skills of our staff enable us to offer our clients a wide range of possibilities for testing their products in order to achieve the greatest efficiency in obtaining results from each test.
Our laboratories provide a versatile, flexible and efficient answer to the different customer requirements. The continuous interaction between our prototyping and tooling shops and engineering departments allows us to shorten test set-up preparation times and provide our clients with support in the analysis of the results or any other aspect related to the development of their products.
Crash Test Laboratory
Frontal, side and rear crash tests are carried in our indoor full scale crash laboratory:
- Impact velocities: 2.5-80km/h
- Test mass: up to 3,500kg
- Filming pit 2 53 m
- Climate control: 19º - 22º C
- HMI low temperature lighting
We have the last generation of equipment for dummies, instrumentation, video cameras, measurement systems.
We reconstruct all kinds of impact scenarios in our indoor lab (cars, motorcycles, bicycles, etc.)
We assess vehicles, restraint systems, and their components according to different international regulations and protocols.
We evaluate the impact behaviour of vehicles, restraint systems, and their components in accordance with the different international regulations and protocols.
- Frontal: :ECE R94, FMVSS 208 USNCAP, EuroNCAP
- Side: ECE R95, FMVSS 214, IIHS, USNCAP, EuroNCAP
- Rear: FMVSS 301(old)
- Low speed Reparability testing (Danner o Allianz).
Cidaut´s crash lab provides subsystem´s tests to develop vehicle´s components and structures
- B pillar
- Doors
We have a wide range of moving barriers (140-1800kg) for impact testing and energy absorption characterisation (crash boxes, structures, front-ends, etc.).
Our Horizontal Crash Simulator with dynamic control brake enables us to reproduce frontal, side and rear collisions with excellent accuracy and repeatability.
- Acceleration: 75 g (1,000 Kg payload)
- Deceleracion: -45 g (500 Kg payload)
- Jerk: 8 g/ms // 30 g/ms
- Stroke: 1,650 mm
- Velocity: Up to 81 Km/h
- Climate control: 18 ºC - 22.5ºC
- HMI low temperature lighting
We have our own tooling design and manufacturing department, this allows us ti face every testing request with the best lead time according to our clients’ needs.
We assess and optimize vehicle restraint systems and their components for the automotive, aeronautical and railway sectors
