ABSTRACT:
Apparatus and method for verifying effects of a motor vehicle accident involving at least one vehicle adapted to be advanced towards a pre-defined point of collision at a predetermined speed. The apparatus and method provides for the employ of a drive mechanism for setting the vehicle into motion.
In order to be independent of the type of vehicle and at the same time to be able to achieve a realistic accident sequence including the simulation of different braking operations and speed variations as well as a start motion procedure building up to a preselected speed, the vehicle's own drive mechanism, an optionally provided clutch and the vehicle's brake are adapted to be controlled by actuators connected to a fluid pressure actuating and control system including a supply reservoir and a number of selectively controllable valves for the simulation of an accident.
