Test device for testing passive safety system of motor vehicle, has movable slide defined in obstacle direction, where slide has pivot mounting displaceable in rotation on which motor vehicle to be tested is arranged

摘要

#CMT# #/CMT# The device (1) has an obstacle (3) e.g. wall, and a movable slide (4) defined in an obstacle direction. The slide has a pivot mounting (5) displaceable in a rotation on which a motor vehicle (2) to be tested is arranged so that a longitudinal axis of the vehicle in a moment of impact of the slide on the obstacle have an angle of unequal 90 degrees to a plane. Surfaces of the mounting and the slide have a less frictional coefficient and are made of Teflon(RTM: PTFE). A control device controls a rotational speed of the mounting and/or controls an acceleration and/or speed of the slide. #CMT# : #/CMT# An independent claim is also included for a method for testing a passive safety system of a motor vehicle. #CMT#USE : #/CMT# Test device for testing a passive safety system of a motor vehicle. #CMT#ADVANTAGE : #/CMT# The design of the device achieves reproducibility of the device in an easy manner with fewer costs, and improves application and validation of the passive safety system. The surfaces of the pivot mounting and the slide have the less frictional coefficient, thus ensuring lateral slippage of the motor vehicle on the slide and/or the pivot mounting after stoppage of the slide while reaching the obstacle. #CMT#DESCRIPTION OF DRAWINGS : #/CMT# The drawing shows a schematic representation of a test device. 1 : Test device 2 : Motor vehicle 3 : Obstacle 4 : Movable slide 5 : Pivot mounting 6 : Movement direction.
