Version 8.6 of measX’s X-Crash ATD software has been released. The main highlight of the update to the software, which is used to evaluate tests for crash test dummy certification, is a new evaluation for the advanced Pedestrian Legform Impactor (aPLI), a test device used in pedestrian protection tests to simulate the human leg. To support this, a new evaluation package was developed in accordance with ISO/TS 20458:2023. The software has also been updated to align with revised standards and norms.
Version 8.6 of the X-Crash evaluation software for passive safety tests was released in December of last year. With the current release of X-Crash ATD, both programs are now aligned to the same version. The professional certification of dummies and the analysis of the resulting test data are essential for standard-compliant vehicle safety testing. X-Crash ATD supports all required test specimens and dummies in accordance with European and international standards and regulations.
“It is important for us to accompany the entire process of vehicle safety testing with our evaluations. New evaluations continue to be recorded, particularly in the area of active safety, and we are therefore challenged with the further development of X-Zero. But there is also a lot happening in the area of passive safety, especially in pedestrian protection. Our work consists not only of adapting and maintaining existing evaluations, but we are also tackling completely new topics,” said Klaas Ebel, head of vehicle safety at measX.
