Mercedes-Benz becomes the first automaker to successfully shoot an X-ray of a crash test, using a camera that can shoot up to 1,000 images per second. This technology allows researchers to create slo-mo X-ray videos of a crash, providing revealing new insights.
Crash tests have improved a lot over the years, but the engineering folks over at Mercedes-Benz hope their latest innovation will help it make the next leap forward in vehicle safety . The automaker has become the first to successfully shoot an X-ray of a crash test . Mercedes says it has been working on this technology for years, but that recording clear images of a crash test has proven difficult.
The average exposure time for a standard X-ray is around a second, and a lot happens in that amount of time during a car crash, leading to blurry, useless images. To speed the process up, Mercedes worked with Fraunhofer-Institute for High-Speed Dynamics and the Ernst Mach Institute in Freiburg, and together they developed a camera that can shoot up to 1,000 images per second. That allows researchers to create slo-mo X-ray videos of a crash.
