A small team of engineers have been creating full scale vehicle crashes for the media industry. These recreations are used to demonstrate how crashes happen so that drivers understand the significance of their actions. Often the public only see the wreckage left by the side of the road after a crash, the significance of which will vary from person to person, but it is rarely the case that any comprehension of the cause can be conveyed. Most of the crash scenarios created have been to replicate particular accidents, side swipes from LHD trucks, Armco impacts, and the notorious M42 accident some years ago. The presentation will cover the most significant crashes, the technology developed specifically for the purpose of controlling cars and how easy it is to have a life threatening accident. It is also hoped to include some more wacky challenges..... such as the rocket retardation system dreamt up by a Hollywood TV company.
