Seminar: Virtual Testing for Vehicle Safety Assessment in Consumer Protection Tests and Regulations

article imageVehicle type approval based on virtual test procedures has been possible for some time for a limited number of specific regulations in automotive safety. However, there have been very few real applications so far. Currently the increasing demands of consumer protection organizations are leading to a noticeable acceleration in the development and acceptance of procedures for virtual testing as an alternative or supplement to physical testing. There are also corresponding efforts by legislators to implement virtual test procedures in new regulations for the assessment of vehicle safety. The trainer Andre Eggers has been a research associate at the German Federal Highway Research Institute since 2006 and works in the fields of biomechanics, evaluation of dummies, human models and virtual testing.

Removing Electric Vehicle Roadblocks: IAV Takes on Thermal Propagation with CONVERGE

article imageWhile statistically the safety of electric vehicles is on par with conventional powertrains, battery thermal runaway and thermal propagation have been thrust into the spotlight as a potential hazard. In the worst-case scenarios, thermal propagation can lead to battery fires or explosions, which pose a threat to vehicle occupants and can release toxic gases into the environment.

How to Test Numerical Material Models in COMSOL Multiphysics®

article imageMaterial models play an important role in describing, predicting, and understanding the physical behavior of a material. They describe the material response to external stimulations like force, heat, or voltage. Most material models are phenomenological in nature, based on experimental data and observations rather than underlying physical principles. In this blog post, COMSOL gives a look at how to test a numerical model in its Multiphysics® software.

LLM-Human Co-engineering to Increase Efficiency of Safety Engineering Processes (HARA)

article imageUnlocking Automotive Safety: How LLM-Augmented Tools Are Transforming Hazard and Risk Assessments.
In the ever-evolving landscape of automotive safety engineering, the Hazard Analysis and Risk Assessment (HARA) process is crucial. This procedure demands extensive engineering expertise to meet the requirements of safety standards like ISO 21448 (SOTIF) and ISO 26262 (Functional Safety). The field of generative AI, especially large language models (LLMs), promises to revolutionize how we approach HARA, particularly in the light of more complex operational design domains, faster release cycles, and the shortage of skilled safety personnel.
