Autoliv Advances Vehicle Safety With Virtual Testing Platform

Autoliv, a supplier of automotive safety systems, is advancing vehicle safety development through virtual testing. The company is utilizing its HBM (Human Body Model) Safety Suite platform, designed to support the design and validation of safety systems within simulation environments.

This approach allows for the evaluation of complex crash scenarios and the performance of various safety features, such as seatbelts and airbags, without the need for physical prototypes. This accelerates the product development cycle and enables the testing of a wider range of scenarios.

Virtual testing significantly reduces the requirement for costly and time-consuming physical tests, potentially leading to cost savings and faster product launches. It also enhances the precision and repeatability of tests, offering deeper insights into safety system functionality under diverse conditions.

Through this technological advancement, Autoliv aims to strengthen its position as a provider of safety solutions in the automotive industry and meet the growing demand for safer vehicles. The technology also aids manufacturers in complying with increasingly stringent safety regulations.
