Simulated Crash Testing Saves Time and Money
Researchers at the Texas A&M Transportation Institute’s (TTI) Proving Grounds have run over 3,000 full-scale crash tests on everything from subcompact cars to 80,000-lb tractor-trailer rigs. The Center for Transportation Computational Mechanics (CeTCoM) at TTI has a history for being able to help predict the outcome of such crash testing using computer simulations and publicly […]
