ProAnalyst Automotive Applications

Automotive

MiDAS and ProAnalyst® have rooted successes in automotive testing. MiDAS has been widely used by automobile manufacturers, top tier suppliers, and race teams to capture rapid movements of engine components, timing chains, chassis mechanics and brake performance. The introduction of ProAnalyst with the contour tracing toolkit and the 1-D tracking tools allowed customers to analyze airbags and other vehicle safety systems

Automotive companies test passenger restraint systems using ProAnalyst. Synchronized video and data are acquired using MiDAS with high-resolution, high-speed video cameras and multi-channel DAQ systems.

Car manufacturers use ProAnalyst in crash testing to analyze crumple zones and impact energy absorption.

The Contour Tracing toolkit for ProAnalyst is ideal for airbag testing. 1-D line tracking can be used to calculate expansion velocity in any direction.
