Technische Hochschule Ingolstadt and University of West Bohemia in Pilsen would like to invite you to the second joined workshop on Virtual Development in Passive Safety and Human Models for Future Mobility.
Designing the Future Passive Safety
Featured Speakers
Virtual Development In Passive Safety And Human Models For Future Mobility
The event addresses topics from virtual development in passive vehicle safety for the mobility of the future. It contains research work, reaching from biomechanics and human body modelling to crash and occupant simulations, as well as crash accident reconstruction. The main objective is to connect young Bavarian and Czech researchers in this field.
The workshop is planned as a one-day online event. It includes two keynote lectures from Czech and German recognised experts. Petr Záruba from TÜV SÜD Czech and Thomas Müller from Cybex. There will be two sessions of young researchers’ presentations following with a discussion forum on the presented topics
PETR ZÁRUBA
TÜV SÜD Czech | Profit Center Manager - Computer Aided Services
Petr Zaruba is a highly experienced CAE engineer and simulation specialist with over nine years at TÜV SÜD, currently leading the Computer-Aided Services department in Prague. His work focuses on nonlinear and static FE simulations, crash and strength tests, and occupant safety – including high-stakes sled and rollover testing for commercial vehicles and motorsport applications.
In parallel with his engineering career, Petr has built a strong presence in the motorcycle world. He’s been a riding instructor for over a decade, and a long-time off-road journalist for MOTOCYKL and ČMN. His work combines technical precision with storytelling, sharing his expertise both on and off the road.
Cybex | Director Analysis & Testing
Dr. Thomas Müller is a physicist with nearly a decade of experience in the development of child restraint systems at CYBEX. He began his career as a crash test specialist, where he was responsible for analyzing crash test results, deriving product improvements, and driving the type approval process of child restraint systems. Over time, he advanced to his current role as Director of Analysis & Testing, leading a sub-department within R&D that focuses on physical and virtual testing, data analysis, and biomechanics/ergonomics. As Deputy Vice President of R&D, he also contributes to the global development of all CYBEX product categories. His work combines deep technical expertise with a strong commitment to innovation and child safety.
The Venue
The Technische Hochschule Ingolstadt (THI) launched a research and test center for the vibrant development sector of vehicle safety called CARISSMA (Center of Automotive Research on Integrated Safety Systems and Measurement Area). This interesting project was completed in 2016. The focus of the scientific work here is in the development of integrated safety systems for traffic. For research purposes, human senses are replicated and testing techniques are investigated, with hazards being identified early to avert accidents.
