Abstract
A collision testing vehicle is disclosed which can be utilized to perform testing with a driver assistance system. The collision testing vehicle includes a vehicle having a vehicle body. The vehicle is structured to be subject to an impact force during a collision with a collision body. A wheel is coupled to the vehicle body, and the wheel includes a detachable support that is configured to non-destructively detach from the wheel when subjected to the impact force.
Claims13
A crash test vehicle, comprising:
- a crash test vehicle including a base body, wherein the crash test vehicle is configured to be subject to a collision with a collision body;
- at least one wheel having a wheel hub, wherein the wheel is operably coupled to the base body;
- and
- a wheel spoke having a first end detachably coupled to the wheel hub, wherein in response to an impact force exerted by the collision body on the wheel spoke during a collision, the first end of the wheel spoke non-destructively elastically deforms and detaches from the wheel hub.
A collision testing vehicle for performing tests with a driver assistance system, the collision testing vehicle comprising:
- a vehicle configured to be subject to a collision with a collision body;
- a wheel including a wheel hub, wherein the wheel hub is rotatably coupled to the vehicle;
- and
- a wheel spoke detachably coupled to the wheel hub, wherein in response to an impact force exerted by the collision body on the wheel spoke during a collision, the wheel spoke non-destructively detaches from the wheel hub by an elastic deformability of the wheel spoke.
