Abstract
The invention relates to a dummy system comprising a dummy element and a displaceable platform, wherein the dummy element is attached to the platform in a manner inclinable relatively to the platform.
Claims17
A dummy system, comprising:
- a dummy element which is displaceable along a ground,
- an inclination mechanism,
- wherein the inclination mechanism is coupled with the dummy element and configured such that the dummy element is inclinable relatively to the ground, and
- a platform which is displaceable over the ground, on which the dummy element is inclinably attached,
- wherein the platform comprises a base body which comprises a bottom surface and an opposing attachment surface and the base body is laid on the ground with its bottom surface, wherein in the bottom surface at least one roller element is drivably arranged by the base body and protrudes at least partially out of the base body and thus provides a distance between the base body and the ground,
- wherein the inclination mechanism comprises an actuator and a coupling device,
- wherein the actuator can move the coupling device in a translatory and/or rotational manner, such that an inclination of the dummy element is adjustable,
- wherein the coupling device is made of a radar-transparent material.

A method of operating a dummy system, the method comprising:
- providing a dummy system comprising a dummy element displaceable along a ground, an inclination mechanism coupled to the dummy element and configured such that the dummy element is inclinable relative to the ground, the dummy system comprising a platform which is displaceable over the ground, on which the dummy element is inclinably attached,
- wherein the platform comprises a base body which comprises a bottom surface and an opposing attachment surface and the base body is laid on the ground with its bottom surface, wherein in the bottom surface at least one roller element is drivably arranged by the base body and protrudes at least partially out of the base body and thus provides a distance between the base body and the ground,
- wherein the inclination mechanism comprises an actuator and a coupling device,
- wherein the actuator can move the coupling device in a translatory and/or rotational manner, such that an inclination of the dummy element is adjustable,
- wherein the coupling device is made of a radar-transparent material;
- and
- inclining the dummy element relatively to the ground.
