3D Measurement Of Crash Vehicles With ProCam


Security Is Decisive


When deciding for a new car, the security package offered by the manufacturer becomes increasingly important sales argument. Therefore, European Automotive Associations, some European governments and consumer organizations founded the EURO NCAP (EURO New Car Assessment Program). They support standards for executing crash tests and now provide detailed and standardized information on the quality of passenger protection.


3D Measurement Of A Crash Vehicle Using ProCAM


The geometrical deformation of the crash vehicle is the principal basis for evaluating and analyzing a crash. An accurate 3D measurement before and after the crash provides the necessary parameters to interpret the results on how to minimize the risk of injuries for the passengers.
Thus the demands on the measurement system are extremely high and the AICON ProCAM system perfectly meets them.

Requirements On The Measurement System


To carry out a rapid and efficient geometrical 3D measurement, the system has to meet with the following demands:


  • Ample accuracy

  • Minimized installation time

  • Fast measurement cycle and short intervals for approx. 80 points inside and outsinde the vehicle.

  • Lowest possible budget for purchase and maintenance

Result: ProCam Is The Best Fit Solution



The comparison of different measuring systems as used by a large car manufacturer made clear that the ProCam System provided the best efficiency parameters and is the only system to meet with the high demands on a state of the art measurement installation. The system does not require assembly times after initial installation. All measurement points of which some a placed underneath and inside the car are measured in one session without any interruption. The required accuracy is reached easily - with an astonishing time saving factor compared to existing systems.
