The present invention relates to a vehicle (), in particular a bicycle, for performing tests for a driver assistance system. The vehicle () has a base body () and at least one strut (), which is formed to be dimensionally stable without influence of an impact force, which is generatable upon a collision of the vehicle () with a collision body, and is elastically deformable upon influence of the impact force. The strut () is connected to the base body () such that upon influence of the impact force the strut () is non-destructively detachable from the base body ().

Elastically deformable dummy vehicle for carrying out tests for driver assistance systems

The present invention relates to a platform for testing collisions or near-collision situations between a collision body, in particular a vehicle, and a test object. The platform has a base body, which has a bottom surface and an attachment surface formed opposite to the bottom surface, wherein an attachment device is formed on the attachment surface for attaching the test object. Furthermore, the platform has at least one roller element, which is arranged at the bottom surface, wherein the roller element is configured such that the base body is displaceable along a ground by the roller element. The base body is formed of an elastically deformable material having a thickness of less than 2500 kg/m.

Movable platform with a deformable main body for the testing of collisions or near-collision situations

The present invention relates to a platform for testing collisions or near-collision situations between a collision body, in particular a vehicle, and a test object. The platform has a base body, which has a bottom surface and an attachment surface formed opposite to the bottom surface, wherein an attachment device is formed on the attachment surface for attaching the test object. Furthermore, the platform has at least one roller element, which is arranged at the bottom surface, wherein the roller element configured such that the base body is displaceable along a ground by the roller element. An installation box having an installation volume is arranged in a receiving opening of the base body, wherein the installation box is conceived in the receiving opening of the base body such that a temperature control region of the installation box is in contact with a surroundings of the base body. The temperature control region is formed of a material, which has a greater heat conductivity coefficient than a material of the base body.

High-power, weather resistant platform for a test system for testing collision or near-collision situations

The present invention relates to a dummy vehicle for carrying out tests for a driver assistance system. The dummy vehicle has a deformable first outer panel, which at least partially encloses an inner volume of the dummy vehicle, and an opening element, which at least partially encloses the inner volume of the dummy vehicle, wherein the opening element and the first outer panel form a self-supporting unit. The opening element is detachably connected to the first outer panel such that, upon an influence of an impact force, the opening element is detachable from the first outer panel, such that the self-supporting unit is disintegratable and a deformation of the vehicle is providable.

Dummy vehicle for carrying out tests for a driver assistance system

A dummy object is described which is particularly suitable for a functional testing of driver assistance systems for vehicles. The dummy object comprises a torso, at least one extremity-representing an arm or a leg, wherein the extremity includes a proximal extremity portion mounted in an articulated manner at the torso and a distal extremity portion mounted in an articulated manner at the proximal extremity portion, and at least one drive which is arranged in the torso and is designed to move the proximal extremity portion relative to the torso. The proximal extremity portion can be moved in such a manner that a movement of the distal extremity portion, which is correlated with the movement of the proximal extremity portion, can be created by utilizing the mass inertia of the associated distal extremity portion.

A placement aid for placing a catheter and a sensor wire into a body including a replacement device arranged in an interchangeable and replaceable manner having a main body, a placement needle, a catheter and a sensor wire. The placement needle is arranged within the catheter so that a tip of the placement needle protrudes from an end of the catheter along a puncturing direction and penetrates the skin when the catheter is inserted along the puncturing direction to generate a skin opening through which the catheter can be guided up to a subcutaneous final position. The sensor wire is arranged in the placement needle when the catheter is inserted along the puncturing direction and when the subcutaneous final position of the catheter is reached, the placement needle can be withdrawn from the catheter against the puncturing direction and the sensor wire remains in the catheter.

Placement aid for placing a catheter for diabetics

Embodiments of the invention relate to a system for producing collisions or near-collision situations between a collision body, in particular a vehicle, and a test object. The system comprises a fastening plate having a coupling mechanism, by means of which coupling mechanism the test object can be detachably coupled to the fastening plate, a drive belt which is fastened to the fastening plate, and a drive unit having a drive body for driving the drive belt. The drive unit, the drive belt, and the fastening plate can be placed directly on a floor in such a way that the drive body moves the drive belt and the fastening plate along the floor. The coupling mechanism can be controlled in such a way that the test object is coupled to the fastening plate and can be actively decoupled from the fastening plate from a predetermined operating paint before a collision between the collision body and the test object such that the test object is decoupled from the fastening plate during the collision between the collision body and the test object.

Embodiments of the invention relate to a three-dimensional dummy object, in particular for functionally testing driver assistance systems in motor vehicles, comprising a head, a skeleton, a trunk, movable pelvis and movable legs. The skeleton comprises a trunk skeleton having cavities, to which the arms and legs are articulated, wherein the legs each have a thigh and a lower leg articulated to the thigh, wherein a drive unit and a receiver/control unit are installed in the trunk skeleton, which receiver/control unit receives signals correlating to the relative velocity of the moving dummy object as an input quantity, such that the movement pattern of the thighs and lower legs can be varied according to the relative velocity of the dummy object by means of an installed movement mechanism.
