Abstract
The present invention relates to a vehicle (100), in particular a bicycle, for performing tests for a driver assistance system. The vehicle (100) has a base body (101) and at least one strut (102), which is formed to be dimensionally stable without influence of an impact force, which is generatable upon a collision of the vehicle (100) with a collision body, and is elastically deformable upon influence of the impact force. The strut (102) is connected to the base body (101) such that upon influence of the impact force the strut (102) is non-destructively detachable from the base body (101).
Claims15
A vehicle for performing tests for a driver assistance system, comprising:
- a vehicle having a base body, wherein the vehicle is structured to be subject to a collision with a collision body;
- at least one strut, wherein the strut is dimensionally stable absent an influence of an impact force, and wherein the strut is elastically deformable upon the influence of the impact force of the collision of the vehicle and the collision body;
- and
- an elastic clamping clip located at the base body, wherein the elastic clamping clip detachably retains the strut to the base body such that upon the influence of the impact force the strut is non-destructively detachable from the base body.
A collision testing vehicle for performing tests with a driver assistance system, comprising:
- a vehicle having a vehicle body and at least one wheel, wherein the vehicle is structured to be subject to an impact force during a collision with a collision body;
- a detachable support located at one of the vehicle body and the wheel, wherein the detachable support is dimensionally stable prior to application of the impact force, and wherein the detachable support is elastically deformable upon the application of the impact force;
- wherein the detachable support is formed from an elastic plastic material having a modulus of elasticity in the range of 1000 N/mm2 to 3000 N/mm2, and wherein the detachable support includes an elastic limit in the range of 40 N/mm2 to 70 N/mm2;
- and
- wherein the detachable support is detachably coupled with the one of the vehicle body and the wheel such that during the collision with the collision body the detachable support can non-destructively detach from the one of the vehicle body and the wheel.
