Fiat Adds Smart Crash Barrier

August 9th, 2006

The Fiat Safety Center in Turin (Italy) has ordered a Kistler SmartCrash Barrier. The complete instrumented impact surface is 2m x 1m. The SmartCrash barrier is split into two equal segments, each 64 triaxial force measuring elements with integral data acquisition and data storage. The barrier will also have an additional offset block for EuroNCAP and different top plates for AZT 0° and 10° regulations.

The SmartCrash include 500 kN triaxial standard force measuring elements and newly developed ultra light weight crash elements rated 300 kN. These are easily reconfigurable and can be used also for crash trolleys.

The first scheduled test is expected in September 2006.
