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 ÄŒMN. 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
New Technologies – Research Centre (NTC), is an independent self-financed institute of the University of West Bohemia in Pilsen with the state of the art research facilities and an experienced, reliable, and dedicated international team of more than one hundred twenty researchers. NTC focuses on basic and applied research, development, and innovations mainly in the following areas: measuring systems and laser technologies for material surface processing; structural, electronic, magnetic, and spectroscopic properties of new technologically perspective materials; membranes, polymer composites; measurement of field temperatures and precise transfer of equipment heat; measurement and simulation of complex fluid flow including transfers of heat; new thin-layer materials (photovoltaic cells), fuel cells, energy storage; biomechanical models of humans, algorithms, and software for modeling heterogeneous materials; man-machine interactions and human cognitive enhancement.
