The FlexCrash project is focused on the development of a flexible and hybrid manufacturing technology to produce tailored adaptive crash-tolerant structures made of green aluminium alloys.
The project selects vehicle parts and applies surface patterns onto performed parts with the objective to reduce weight, increase safety and optimise crash performance of current and future vehicles.
FlexCrash solutions are to provide a general improvement of car safety with a reduction of risks and fatalities in crashes.
FlexCrash goal is to radically transform the traditional automotive sector and adapt to the extensive agility, versatility and interoperability needs of the upcoming industry.
The FlexCrash project was showcased during the Advanced Factories Congress, the annual meeting for pioneers in industrial innovation, held from April 9th to 11th in Barcelona.
The innovative FlexCrash platform, designed and deployed by the IMC University of Applied Sciences Krems, allows human drivers and autonomous vehicles (AVs) to interact in realistic simulations.
On February 13th, the FlexCrash project took stage at the European RTR (Results from Road Transport Research) conference, an international meeting point for transport experts in Europe, celebrated in Brussels. The event showcased cutting-edge trends and achievements in road transport innovation, with a strong focus on enhancing safety and sustainability in mobility. Representing FlexCrash, Christian…
FlexCrash partner Biswajit Dalai, from Luleå University of Technology (LTU), presented part of his investigation carried out within the project in the 6th International Conference on Processing & Characterization of Materials (ICPCM24) held in Rourkela, India, from December 5 to 7.
FlexCrash interdisciplinary consortium is made up of 10 partners from 5 different countries with great expertise on manufacturing more sustainable and crash-tolerant vehicles structures.
The project is coordinated by Eurecat Technology Centre.
