Efficient Calculation for the Euro NCAP Crash Test

Every year, complex crash tests are carried out on new vehicles to test their safety. During these, an important role is played by the risk of injury to pedestrians and cyclists. The amount of time and effort that goes into developing a "pedestrian-compatible" vehicle front end is enormous. But there is also a far more efficient way. Namely the AI...

Automated Test Procedures for more Efficient Development of Parking Assistance Systems

A parking assistance system really comes into its own when parking spaces are cramped and awkward. To ensure that the assistant will not simply shut down or drive back and forth dozens of times, the systems need to be validated and optimized in extensive test series. This takes time and money. EDAG has now come up with an alternative: the...

Production Solutions

High efficiency in battery cell production

In Europe, several battery cell production lines have recently been built by large Asian suppliers offering a turnkey solution from a single source. However, due to different policies, laws and procedures, local requirements do not always match the offerings that have proven successful in domestic markets. Extensive rework is then required. EDAG...

Using virtual models and simulations to make battery system development more efficient

The cost and range of a BEV are decisive factors when buying a car. On the other hand, the energy storage systems in an electric vehicle should be reliable and survive accidents as unscathed as possible. Thus, cutting corners on safety is not an option. Nevertheless, the development of battery systems still has untapped potential. With the right...

Smart City: Notably Reducing Swimming Pool Costs Using Simulation

Swimming pools are expensive - and not just because of the staff. Heating and water circulation result in high maintenance costs for local authorities. But how much water circulation is really necessary to meet the legal requirements and ensure safe operation? In the past, the calculations for this were based on empirical values. A different...
