Description

Crash tests of vehicles against fixed objects make it possible to reproduce the behavior of the vehicle in a wide range of configurations both in the direction of impact, in the occupancy level of the vehicles and in the objects against which the vehicle collides.

This type of testing is covered by international safety legislation as well as by vehicle safety assessment programs such as NCAP, EURO-NCAP and similar. In addition to the regulated tests, vehicle manufacturers use their own tests to evaluate and optimize the performance of vehicle restraint and passive safety systems.

Passive safety in automobiles has become an area of great interest and topicality. Álava Ingenieros has been a pioneer, more than 15 years ago, in the supply and integration of all peripheral equipment (high speed HMI lighting, instrumented Dummies, motion analysis software, high speed cameras) for vehicle crash test facilities and laboratories in all its modalities (full crash, sled, HYGE catapult, etc.).

Throughout all these years Álava Ingenieros has been completing its range of products and services related to crash testing, and has more than earned the trust of the major laboratories and companies in the sector, becoming today the main national reference in its category and one of the most valued at international level for its technical capacity, acquired knowledge and commitment to its clients.

Álava Ingenieros is also proud to be part of the CRASH NETWORK website designed for users in the crash test industry. This site provides the latest news in the sector, regulations and standards, links to related sites, technical bases and documentation, and a discussion forum for the entire crash test community.
