Modern crash test labs can’t afford inefficiencies, fragmented systems, or inconsistent results. ATD-BaseWare™ is the core software that unifies testing, automates certification workflows, and ensures ISO compliance, whether you’re running next-generation equipment or upgrading trusted first-generation systems. Discover how this platform streamlines data management, reduces variability, and powers the insights that drive faster, more reliable vehicle development.

Crash safety technology has advanced over the years, but we are still using models that do not represent the full range of human bodies on the road. Learn how HBM Connect® shows how the human body reacts in complex ways during a crash. Learn about injury assessment and ways to ensure your design is for people, not just protocols.

As ATD fleets grow and certification demands rise, spreadsheets start to show their limits. Discover how centralized fleet management software improves test readiness, reduces documentation risk, and helps labs make faster, data-driven decisions.

Automotive interiors must fit drivers and passengers of every shape, size, and background, but are current designs meeting that challenge? Using Humanetics RAMSIS, automakers can evaluate and optimize interior layouts for a global population, ensuring comfort, accessibility, and performance for everyone. See how data-driven design is reshaping the way interiors are built for inclusivity.

Part 8 of the series looks at the Agile Partnership Model and how we believe it will bring OEMs, regulators, and researchers into fast-moving, integrated teams that do more than collaborate; they deliver. This is not about checking boxes. It’s about saving lives.

As crash testing evolves, legacy lab systems are struggling to keep up. Discover how a Connected Lab, linking advanced test equipment, smart software, and data integration, can reduce test variability, improve compliance, and accelerate vehicle development.

Bridging the Gap Between Digital Design and Real-World Fit. Poor fit slows development and compromises product performance. Discover how iSize helps brands create more accurate digital avatars and physical fit forms, built from real human data, to improve consistency, speed, and customer satisfaction.

In Part 7, we explore how new technologies designed to protect vehicle occupants can also help reduce injuries and fatalities outside the vehicle.

Truck safety is a critical focus for the automotive industry as regulatory bodies and organizations aim to reduce road fatalities and improve the protection of all road users. Accurate and repeatable testing is essential to verify these safety systems, and advanced robotic platforms like Humanetics' UFOs and DRm Driving Robots play a crucial role in this process.

In Part 6, we explore why traditional crash testing isn't enough to keep up with modern vehicle complexities and the growing demand for accurate, real-life crash data.

Is your sizing still accurate?
Outdated standards can lead to poor fit, high returns, and lost sales. This article shows how brands can use real-world body data and iSize to modernize their sizing strategy and improve product performance.

Human-centric design starts with real data. iSize gives engineers the anthropometric insights they need to build smarter, better-fitting, and more inclusive products.

Our Shared Mission of Safety. A message for 2025 and beyond from our CEO, Chris O'Connor

In Part 5, we look at how advancements in active and passive safety testing are helping engineers evaluate and improve vehicle systems designed to protect vulnerable road users. These innovations aim to create more realistic test scenarios, ultimately reducing pedestrian injuries and fatalities.

In Part 4, we explore equitable safety design for Every Body across industries, and the increased safety challenges faced by underserved populations.
