Sensors for safety systems: The Automotive Sensors division of PCB Piezotronics can help the unique needs of the legislative and safety testing market in many areas

摘要

Consumer awareness and desire for safer vehicles, along with more stringent legislative safety requirements, have served as the catalyst for automotive manufacturers to perform additional safety testing in a wider range of accident scenarios. The global nature of the market also dictates that manufacturers must ensure products meet the varying test requirements of numerous national and international regulatory standards. In the US, recent new standards include amendments for dynamic rollover testing (FMVSS 208); electronic stability controls (FMVSS 126); and pass-by noise (40CFR205). New legislation in Europe and Asia regarding pedestrian impact may also come to the US market. In this dynamic environment, automotive manufacturers and suppliers require greater testing flexibility and innovation, to respond to changing marketplace requirements in an effective and efficient manner.
