Beside other aspects improving the vehicle safety helps to achieve this goal. A lot of effort is being made by car manufacturers all over the world to improve the so-called safety performance of newly developed vehicles. This workshop will give a short introduction to vehicle safety and relevant restraint systems with a focus on the deployment of the restraint systems (“airbag sensing”) used to improve the protection of people (e.g. vehicle occupants) involved in a vehicle accident. Also, special focus will be on broad capabilities for simulating autonomous vehicles and advanced driver assistance systems — everything from high-fidelity, physics-based sensor modeling to ISO26262 and AUTOSAR compliant embedded software and human-machine interface development tools. The following topics will be covered: Introduction to Vehicle Safety Engineering Simulation for Safety – Driving scenarios – Virtual road test autonomous vehicles Restraint Systems and Airbag Sensing – Restraint Systems – Introduction to Airbag Sensing – Airbag Sensing (Calibration) Development – The future of Airbag Sensing – Lessons Learned (for real live) Vehicle Dynamics and Crash Simulation Research Future Trends – The race to develop autonomous vehicles (AV) – Advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) – Autonomous driving technology — involving radar, lidar, V2X communication, sensor fusion and deep learning – Safe automated driving Biography: Dr. Stefan Dominico Dr. Dominico has extensive working experience in German auto-industries including vehicle safety development for Adam Opel AG, and simulation at an engineering supplier (IHF – Ingenieurbüro Huß & Feickert), and several years research experience on nonlinear finite element simulations at the Universität Kassel. Mr. Mohsen Tayefeh, M. Eng. Mr. Tayefeh has been consultant to various industries in implementation of advanced technologies through partnership strategies for many years. He is an expert in computer aided engineering, finite element analysis and simulation. He also has extensive experience to design and manufacturing in automotive sector. Mr. Roman Duplak P.Eng., M.Eng. As a trusted advisor Roman helps companies to implement high technologies. Prior to this he worked as a Business Segment Director for the largest Bus Manufacturer in North America (i.e. New Flyer Industries) and as a Program Manager for Boeing. Moreover, his technical background consisted of working as a Chief Engineer in electromechanical actuation technologies, which brings lots of added value to this seminar. Dr. Moustafa El-Gindy, PEng Dr. El-Gindy is a leading researcher on vehicle safety and crash worthiness analysis. His research interests includes articulated heavy vehicles, bus testing and simulation, crash testing and simulations, high-velocity impact and ballistics simulation, self-steering axles simulation, Tire mechanics, and virtual human modelling. Mr. Walter Hearn Mr. Hearn has been in leadership roles with ANSYS for more than 10 years. Currently he is directing multiple direct and indirect teams across the Central U.S. and Canada. His successful strategies in supervising partnerships with companies will bring significant added value and we will learn many practical success stories from him during this seminar.
