Crash test methods

Crash test methods evaluate a vehicle’s safety by simulating collisions using controlled experiments. Engineers use crash test dummies, representing human bodies, to measure potential injuries. Tests include frontal, side, and rollover impacts, with vehicles often hitting barriers or being propelled at set speeds. Data collected from sensors in the dummy indicates how well a vehicle protects its occupants, helping manufacturers improve safety features like airbags and crumple zones. These tests ensure vehicles meet safety standards and provide consumers with reliable safety information for informed choices.
