Cockpit Development
The cockpit of a vehicle has great significance in many respects. It is one of the most important design features of the interior containing the greatest concentration of operational elements and resultingly places high demands on design and ergonomics. In light of vehicle safety, the cockpit is of essential consideration as it contains among other things the frontal airbags and knee bars required for the U.S. market.
In the context of vehicle safety, cockpit development is defined by integration of the frontal airbags (passenger airbags, and possibly knew airbags), legal requirements in respect of head impact – as well as the middle console – and the corresponding tie-up of the steering column. These elements must all be taken into account in order to achieve the greatest possible passenger protection in the event of a collision.
Of special significance is the interdisciplinary and SE-concerned project group which gives consideration to the high complexity of the cockpit. Beyond the already mentioned aspects, the heating and cooling, electrics and electronics range, and last but not least the production demands and consumer expectations must be considered and integrated.
The cockpit development beginning with the concept phase, through the simulation, and the series development, up to the testing stage, and the subsequent series supervision, are all covered by Concept. We are equipped with the necessary simulation tools and the corresponding experimental equipment for testing the components and the entire vehicle.
