Application of Modern Technology to Improve Safety in the Automotive Industry

The paper presents a quick survey of current informatics technologies in automotive industry. To reach a high level of safety requirement and minimize the occurrence and consequences of automobile accidents number of studies have been investigated on the prediction the crash event. These investigations are performed by both techniques: numerical and experimental and they can significantly improve crashworthiness of selected auto-parts such a bumper-beam or crash-box under impact loadings. Describe several different methods and materials to optimize the shape of these parts for maximum energy absorption. Since the crash-box is one of the most important automotive parts for crash energy absorption a fully dialed process technology of those parts was simulated using FEM and presented in this study.
