UFOpro with car Dummy

UFO BlackSeries

Our Ultra-Flat Overrunable (UFO) robot platform delivers a versatile and low-maintenance solution for your active safety testing needs. The UFO is remotely controlled with a Global Vehicle Target (GVT) or vulnerable road user (VRU) dummy attached to the top. Its stability and low profile allow you to run fully autonomous testing on the latest collision mitigation features with maximum accuracy and repeatability without risking damage to the test vehicles or driver.

The UFO BlackSeries has the same geometry and hardware as the Standard UFOpro, but can reach speeds up to 100kph with a GVT on top. This enables testing of ADAS systems beyond the speeds of Euro NCAP test protocols. With the VRU arm extension it can also function as a propulsion system for VRU testing. Together they offer a versatile solution for testing all current NCAP scenarios and beyond.

    Software

    • Test scenario Generation – selection: intuitive GUI guides the user through the selection of predefined scenarios or in the creation of new ones.
    • Test scenario execution: the Humanetics UFObase software functions as a control center for up to 9 Humanetics active safety robots. This allows very complex traffic simulation scenarios where multiple vehicles are synchronized to each other to assess performance.
    • Test evaluation: tailored test evaluation solutions are available within the Humanetics software portfolio. The software contains integrated evaluation software with AVL Euro NCAP Evaluation Suite as an upgrade option. All test data can be output over CAN for customer convenience.

    INSTRUMENTATION
    Motion Data Generation High precision GNSS unit collects motion data during test execution.
    Motion Data Output After each test the motion data is synchronized and saved into a result file. The user can choose to evaluate the tests based on the generated result file or to use the pre-defined evaluation software that Humanetics developed in combination with AVL.
