At the next crash.tech, the focus will be on test and simulation methods for passive safety. We aim to provide an overview of the current state of safety technology and highlight the implications from the perspective of accident research, standardisation and regulation, and consumer protection.

Passive safety remains in focus, especially due to innovative mobility concepts, ongoing urbanization, and international regulatory requirements. Advances in modeling and simulation, data-driven accident research, and the integration of diverse sensor technology into protection systems open up new possibilities while raising new questions. Ensuring fair occupant protection for people of all ages, genders, body sizes, and physical conditions is becoming increasingly important. The growing proportion of unprotected road users among accident victims and the emergence of new forms of micro-mobility require innovative protection concepts and the development of new testing and evaluation procedures, including advanced AI methods.

Against this backdrop, the next crash.tech conference will focus on modern testing and simulation methods, as well as the role of vehicles in passive safety, in the context of current technical, social, and regulatory developments.
