Connected and Automated Vehicle Environment Laboratory

Crash Testing: Automotive testing labs often have dedicated crash testing facilities equipped with crash test dummies and advanced high-speed cameras. This allows for the evaluation of vehicle crashworthiness and occupant safety during different types of collisions. Emissions Testing: Labs may feature emission testing equipment to measure exhaust emissions and ensure compliance with local and international emission standards. This includes testing for pollutants such as carbon dioxide (CO2), nitrogen oxides (NOx), particulate matter (PM), and hydrocarbons (HC). Noise, Vibration, and Harshness (NVH) Testing: NVH testing evaluates the noise and vibration levels experienced by passengers and analyzes factors such as engine noise, road noise, and component vibrations. Labs may have specialized equipment to measure and analyze these characteristics. Fuel Efficiency Testing: Labs may conduct tests to measure the fuel efficiency and energy consumption of vehicles. This involves driving veh…
