A collision testing vehicle is disclosed which can be utilized to perform testing with a driver assistance system. The collision testing vehicle includes a vehicle having a vehicle body. The vehicle is structured to be subject to an impact force during a collision with a collision body. A wheel is coupled to the vehicle body, and the wheel includes a detachable support that is configured to non-destructively detach from the wheel when subjected to the impact force.

A collision simulation test apparatus including a table to which a test piece is to be attached, the table being movable in a predetermined direction, a toothed belt for transmitting power to drive the table, a drive module capable of driving the toothed belt, and a control part capable of controlling the drive module. The control part is capable of controlling the drive module to generate an impact to be applied to the test piece, and the impact generated by the drive module is transmitted to the table by the toothed belt.

The present invention relates to a platform for testing collisions or near-collision situations between a collision body, in particular a vehicle, and a test object. The platform has a base body, which has a bottom surface and an attachment surface formed opposite to the bottom surface, wherein an attachment device is formed on the attachment surface for attaching the test object. Furthermore, the platform has at least one roller element, which is arranged at the bottom surface, wherein the roller element is configured such that the base body is displaceable along a ground by the roller element. The base body is formed of an elastically deformable material having a thickness of less than 2500 kg/m.sup.3.

An installation box having an installation volume is arranged in a receiving opening of the base body, wherein the installation box is conceived in the receiving opening of the base body such that a temperature control region of the installation box is in contact with a surroundings of the base body. The temperature control region is formed of a material, which has a greater heat conductivity coefficient than a material of the base body.

A soft target movement platform (1) which comprises at least one drive unit (11), each unit having a motor carrier (12). The drive motor (21) is preferably journaled in the motor carrier about an axis central and longitudinal of the motor. A drive wheel (6) is drivingly connected to the drive motor, with the wheel's axis of rotation offset from the central longitudinal axis by a lever arm (31). The lever arm having a horizontal extent in use, whereby wheel load tends to rotate the motor with respect to the carrier about the longitudinal axis. A spring (32) acting between the drive motor and the carrier counteracts the wheel load rotation.

A testing device for an airbag module includes a support structure to which an airbag module containing an airbag can be fastened, the support structure forming a passage which can be penetrated by the airbag, at least one lid movably fastened to the support structure by fastening means between a closing position in which the lid closes the passage and an open position in which the passage is opened, and a closure device that closes the lid in the closing position by applying a closing force to the lid, wherein the lid comprises at least one first force sensor measuring the opening force applied to the lid by the airbag when moved out of the closed position by the airbag.

A method of determining proof stress includes: calculating a needed load needed to completely crush a deformable impact absorption body of a barrier in a range that comes into contact with a rear bumper reinforcement, based on a load needed to completely crush the entire front surface of the impact absorption body, an area of the entire front surface of the impact absorption body, and an area of the front surface of the impact absorption body, which comes into contact with the rear bumper reinforcement; calculating a maximum bending moment acting on the rear bumper reinforcement in a case where the needed load is input; and determining proof stress of a pair of side members to be equal to or greater than the needed load and determining proof stress of the rear bumper reinforcement to be equal to or greater than the maximum bending moment.

A ramp structure for a mobile platform includes a housing structured to be mounted on the mobile platform, and a ramp member coupled to the housing so as to be movable with respect to the housing. At least one airbag is operably coupled to the housing and is configured to be inflatable to move the ramp member from a retracted position to an extended position in which the ramp member defines a ramp structured to guide a wheel of a subject vehicle onto an exterior surface of the housing.

A vehicle inspection apparatus includes: an exciter roller (3) configured to apply vibration to a vehicle (6); a control device 5 configured to control the exciter roller (3); and a vibration setting unit (the control device (5)) configured to set a vibration that is input to a wheel (7) of the vehicle (6) when abnormal noise generated in the vehicle (6) is detected. The control device (5) provides a range of vibrations including the vibration set by the vibration setting unit and applies the range of vibrations to the vehicle (6).

A system for vibration inspection of a vehicle for inspecting a quality of the vehicle assembled in a vehicle factory's in-line may include an inspection table for guiding and fixing the vehicle to a predetermined inspection position, a sensor detachable robot configured for attaching or detaching vibration sensors to various parts of the vehicle, a vibrating robot configured of generating vibration for the vibration inspection of the vehicle, and an inspection server that analyzes the vibration signal received from the vibration sensor during the vibration inspection of the vehicle, and determines the vehicle to be in inspection pass if the vibration signal matches the normal signal set according to a natural vibration frequency characteristic of each part of the vehicle, and determines the vehicle to be in inspection fail if the vibration signal does not match the normal signal.
