Trust and safety
Vehicle safety requirements are becoming increasingly complex: the use of ultra-lightweight structures and new materials is becoming more widespread in development in order to significantly reduce the weight of vehicles and thus achieve greater energy efficiency. Virtual development and simulation are required to shorten innovation cycles and reduce costs. As an experienced R&D partner in this field, we are there for our clients to find solutions within the framework of global legislation and consumer protection requirements to keep them one step ahead of their competitors.

Our comprehensive offers from one source
At Capgemini Engineering, we strive to constantly develop and refine the features of passive safety for a safer future on the way to “Vision Zero“ in order to reduce or completely avoid the consequences of accidents. As a complete offer for holistic passive safety, we provide engineering, virtual simulation, testing in our own laboratories and test equipment from a single source – from dummy calibration to complete vehicle crashes. With development and test centers in Austria, Germany, the USA and Canada, we help vehicle manufacturers, suppliers and institutions to ensure the greatest possible safety for vehicle occupants and less protected road users. We minimize iteration loops in development with a maximum of innovative methods both in terms of our approach and our processes. Our Microsys systems have proven themselves worldwide in the development and testing of passive safety features on components and complete vehicles or in the field of airbag and belt testing. With SureFire, Capgemini Engineering is the global market leader for airbag testing. With many years of experience in the testing and validation of materials, components and car bodies, we are a proven partner of well-known OEMs, Tier 1s and statutory testing institutes.
Our key offers
ENGINEERING
We offer all the necessary know-how for simulation, engineering and testing and apply these skills not only in our own engineering centers but also at our clients’ sites. We cover strength analysis, crash calculation and component design as well as special know-how in all necessary process steps, from function optimization, material card and model creation to project management. We test the material behaviour during highly dynamic processes and in extended temperature ranges and are familiar with all worldwide applicable standards for passenger and pedestrian protection.

SIMULATION & VIRTUAL TESTS
Simulation and virtual tests in vehicle development help to reduce the testing effort and prototype costs and enable a faster market launch. Equipped with the necessary hardware and software to meet all current OEM requirements in-house, we deliver reliable virtual simulation tests with technical expertise in the field of vehicle safety. Our team works with methods developed in-house to perform simulations faster and more accurately, especially in the area of pedestrian protection. In addition, we have our own high-performance data center to perform the respective calculations in-house.

Universal Impactor Test System
Our test systems are the best choice for interior and pedestrian protection tests.
They are equipped with the speed control system ASC, preliminary tests for speed adjustment are not necessary. Different launchers are easily interchangeable. Possible load cases: FMH, pedestrian protection (head, leg shape and upperleg shape), H-pendulum, ejection mitigation, bodyblock, linear impactor, etc.)

Barrier Trolley
Our side crash barrier car is used to carry out tests according to the laws ECE-R95 and 96/27 EG and can also be converted for tests according to ECE-R34. The aluminium bumper plate at the front is adjustable within a range of 100 mm.
When mounting cameras, measuring equipment etc. a mass compensation is carried out. During the construction, special attention was paid to the legal position of the centre of gravity.
