The technical sensation begins with a very loud bang. At 60 km/h, a device with a crash barrier rams into the orange C-Class saloon and hits it full on the side. Crash tests are always something special - even for the experts. But the really spectacular part of this side impact test is located in a frame on the hall ceiling above the vehicle: A linear accelerator serves as an X-ray camera. Together with Fraunhofer EMI in Freiburg, Mercedes-Benz has now carried out the world's first X-ray crash with a real car. On board was one SID-IIs dummy on the left-hand side facing the impact. This is a test specimen with a female anatomy, specially designed for side impact tests.

When it comes to vehicle safety, much progress has been made over the last two decades by enacting enhanced regulations and extensive testing through governing bodies and consumer testing programs to ensure the well-being of road-users. However, to reduce road traffic deaths by 50 % by 2030, much work is still to be done. One element of achieving this global goal is to reduce the risk of injuries to vehicle occupants.

But the hardware and software that will later be used in the full electric vehicle can already be tested in practical operation. This is made possible by SPiDER, a HiL platform that behaves like the future bus. VIRTUAL VEHICLE, Mission Embedded and ALP.Lab used this opportunity to test teleoperated driving with unrestricted 360-degree real-time view.

They are 9 to 30 times more likely to be killed in a traffic crash than drivers. In Europe, road accident numbers are decreasing, but the decrease is not as strong for accidents involving PTWs compared to accidents involving other vehicles.
