Vehicle misuse extreme testing

In order to validate chassis components and chassis system behaviour, while also ensuring the correct level of calibration of passive safety ECUs to avoid crash misdetections, IDIADA Vehicle Misuse team, with more than 20 years of expertise in the field, drives our customer’s vehicles through different extreme events, such as potholes, ramps, jumps or curbs and evaluates their safety and performance. During manoeuvres, data coming from vehicle (CAN-FD, Flexray, vehicle internal sensor signals…) and from installed sensors (accelerometers, gyroscopes, displacement transducers, effort transducers, strain gauges…) is recorded synchronized using imc CRONOSflex systems.
