For those intrigued by the world of automotive crash tests, the dummies inside provide an important tool in measuring the safety of a vehicle.
3D optical measurement technologies and engineering services firm Creaform, along with Faurecia Autositze GmbH are working on a software solution for the measurements and positioning of dummies, which will also find application in other industries worldwide.
The software for dummy positioning, which is currently developed with Faurecia Autositze, will allow simultaneous and real-time measurement of all 3D measurement points necessary for the alignment of dummies before the crash test. This gives in combination with the portable optical 3D measurement systems from Creaform a flexible and mobile solution that should be speedier than the present process.
