As a result of the study of the standardisation landscape several standards relevant for the Flexcrash project have been found. They are specially to manufacturing processes such as welding and allied processes and additive manufacturing. Also, some technical committees have been identified as relevant and they can be grouped into four main areas:
What if vehicles could be both lighter and safer for the environment and passengers? Have you ever wondered if there’s a way to make vehicles stronger and lighter without compromising crash resistance and passengers’ safety? As the automotive industry faces increasing pressure to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and enhance passenger safety, innovation in lightweight…
Researchers from the IMC University of Applied Sciences Krems are working on the Flexcrash project to develop realistic crash scenarios and simulations of future traffic situations involving autonomous vehicles and human drivers. In the initial phase, driving scenarios extracted from publicly available databases will be fed into the soft-body simulator BeamNG.tech, a driving simulator specialising in realistic car crashes.
The European Flexcrash project, funded with €4 million by the European Union under its Horizon Europe programme, is to develop flexible and hybrid manufacturing technology using high-strength green aluminium alloys to produce adaptive crash-tolerant vehicle structures.
