Popis: Changes in the direction of improving the safety of passengers in passenger cars as well as the other road users engaged Cimos in 2002 into a global development of hinge hood systems concept of active and passive pedestrian safety. From the initial conceptual phase, some projects in cooperation with our customers developed up to a level of industrialization and mass production. Desiring to enhance the competitiveness of the company we constantly seek the ways to offer the we offer the market the best design solutions in terms of strength, price and implementation times. To achieve these objectives, we use the results of the FEM numerical analysis and physical measurements of bonnet motion kinematics and strength requirements of the product. For physical testing of our pedestrian safety system we use GOM measuring equipment and DSD testing machine for simulations of pedestrian head impact in the hood. In this paper testing procedures of hinge and bonnet displacement measurements will be presented, together with impact test simulation of pedestrian head model with activated bonnet. The concept of active safety system will also be presented, for which Cimos developed kinematics and design of hinges and the lock brackets (hood holding system - lock). Experiments and measurements Cimos conducted in cooperation with Topomatika, distributor of the optical measurement system GOM PONTOS HS.
