MESSRING AND HUMANETICS COLLABORATE ON ACTIVE SAFETY TEST SOLUTIONS
Humanetics, a global leader in safety testing solutions, is pleased to announce a collaboration with MESSRING, a renowned provider of crash test technology. This collaboration advances the longstanding relationship and both companies’ commitment to advancing automotive safety and underscores their dedication to delivering integrated and high-performance active safety testing products.
Humanetics and MESSRING will offer seamlessly integrated Humanetics’ platforms with MESSRING’s portfolio of static and articulated dummy targets, like pedestrians, children, powered two-wheelers, and standard sized vehicles. This integrated package will facilitate more efficient setup and execution of active safety tests, reducing complexity for customers. This approach not only simplifies the purchasing process but also ensures compatibility and optimized performance across the combined product suite.
Included in the non-exclusive collaboration is the availability of MESSRING’s Child Presence Detection systems dummy direct to Humanetics’ customers. The CPD dummy reproduces the natural breathing motion, body size and shape of a newborn baby to evaluate automotive child detection technologies.
The new relationship will also focus on demonstrating the capabilities of integrated solutions at industry events and through various marketing channels. These demonstrations will highlight the benefits of the combined offerings and the added value to customers.
Mark Westen, President of Humanetics Safety commented: "Our collaboration with MESSRING is part of our commitment to drive innovation for active safety by working closely with industry partners. We want to ensure our products are designed to integrate perfectly and deliver the best performance." Markus Schmidl, Managing Director of Humanetics Austria, said: "This collaboration puts some structure to our existing excellent working relationship with MESSRING. It will allow us to demonstrate and showcase the integrated platform and dummy targets together, sell them as a single package, to simplify the process for customers, and explore ways to enhance the product performance through collaboration."
Florian Lenz, Chief Executive Officer of MESSRING, added, "Working together with Humanetics, we see a tremendous opportunity to enhance our product offerings and simplify the testing process for our customers. Our combined expertise and technologies will lead to better, more efficient testing solutions that support the automotive industry’s ongoing commitment to safer mobility."

As part of its commitment to reducing deaths and serious injuries on our nation’s roadways, the U.S. Department of Transportation (USDOT) announced the Saving Lives with Connectivity: A Plan to Accelerate V2X Deployment. This plan will guide the implementation of vehicle-to-everything technologies across the nation and support USDOT’s commitment to pursue a comprehensive approach to reduce the number of roadway fatalities to zero.
The Plan, initially released in draft form for public comment in October of last year, is focused on road safety, mobility, and efficiency through technology that enables vehicles and wireless devices to communicate with each other and with roadside infrastructure. These technologies can enable a more safe, secure, and efficient transportation system while maintaining privacy and consumer protection and will contribute to the?Safe System Approach?adopted by the USDOT’s?National Roadway Safety Strategy, a comprehensive approach launched in January 2022 to address the crisis of roadway deaths. ?
“The Department has reached a key milestone today in laying out a national plan for the transportation industry that has the power to save lives and transform the way we travel,” said?U.S. Secretary of Transportation Pete Buttigieg. “The Department recognizes the potential safety benefits of V2X, and this plan will move us closer to nationwide adoption of this technology.”?
“The Plan was drafted and advanced with collaboration across public and private partnerships. It provides stakeholders with vital information to enable a safe, efficient, and sustainable transportation system through the national, widespread deployment of interoperable V2X technologies. The Plan will accelerate investment, research, and deployment in V2X “market certainty,” said?Principal Deputy Assistant Secretary for Research and Technology and Chief Scientist Dr. Robert C. Hampshire. ?
?“The V2X national plan was made possible through collaborative effort between government, industry and stakeholders,” said?Federal Highway Administrator Shailen Bhatt. “The plan represents a call to action in providing a framework for all of us to continue to work together toward the same goal of accelerating V2X deployment to save lives on our nation’s roadways.”
Along with the National Plan, the Federal Highway Administration recently announced nearly?$60 million in grants?to three entities to promote the deployment of V2X technologies with the goal of advancing the full lifesaving potential of V2X communication, while ensuring that connected technologies communicate securely and without harmful interference across a variety of devices and platforms. ?
More information on the V2X national plan and grants is available here:?Connected/Automated Vehicles and Emerging Technologies.
