Airbag & restraint testing
Test airbags and seatbelts with Calspan to ensure your vehicle safety systems are compliant with standards and will protect occupants from harm in an accident. Testing of occupant safety systems starts early in the development stages and continues through manufacturing to make sure consistent performance in mass production.
Calspan has state-of-the-art facilities where static deployment testing is conducted to evaluate airbags and seatbelt tensioners in greater detail with additional instrumentation and high-speed cameras. Calspans' high-quality data can be used to analyze airbag inflation dynamics and to make vehicle-specific design enhancements that ultimately improve the vehicle's overall safety performance.
Calspan has diverse capabilities to test safety components such as seat belts, buckles, and retractors. Our cutting-edge Sled facility can execute a variety of static tests as well as dynamic Sled tests with advanced ATD (anthropomorphic test device), otherwise known as test dummies, to see how systems perform under high loads.
