or over 60 years, the German safety testing provider IABG has been carrying out simulations to monitor,


analyse and secure the safe and smooth operation of vehicles, critical infrastructure and other assets. In 2011, the company began integrating specially adapted ASC accelerometers, which are primarily used in vehicle test benches and safety tests of components for energy production.


POWERING TEST RIGS “We decided to use capacitive sensors from ASC after discovering that the piezo-electric sensors initially selected were unable to deliver the desired quality,” says Arbo Simon, Team Leader Vibration tests and Earthquake

How are sensor solutions being deployed for vehicle safety testing?


Simulation at IABG. “We then looked for a specialist who was willing and able to support us with the right technical expertise and an ‘open mind’.” Both companies have been


partnering with the automotive industry for many years. As a leading provider of vehicle testing facilities, IABG runs a state-of-the- art simulation centre near Munich to evaluate and ensure functional safety. “This incudes vehicles and transport


systems, as well as newly developed hi- tech components, systems and materials used in them,” Simon explains. “The technical quality and diverse range of ASC sensors, as well as the company’s great flexibility, allow them to explore new avenues with us and tailor solutions for our innovative test benches.”
