Engineering & Complexity Management
Our engineering experts guide you through the entire development process – from the early concept phase through to series production.
We ensure that all legal requirements and customer-relevant passive safety requirements are reliably met. Using state-of-the-art simulation methods and innovative tools, we shorten development times and increase the quality of the results at the same time. In this way, we support you in bringing efficient and safe vehicles onto the market.

Interior development
FMVSS 201u
We assume full development responsibility for FMVSS 201u and accompany the entire process from the concept phase to series production.
Design & concept support: Expert assessments, feasibility and risk analyses
Simulation & virtual development: Virtual development processes and model validation
System engineering & tests: Holistic process understanding, prototype & certification tests
Virtual curtain airbag integration
We support the integration of curtain airbags from the early design phase through to series production – completely virtually and efficiently.
- Simulation of the deployment behavior of the curtain airbag
- Optimization of interaction with interior components at various temperatures (-40 °C to +90 °C)
- Analysis of factors influencing the unfolding behavior (temperature, folding variants)
- Temperature-dependent failure forecasts
- Development of measures in close coordination with other disciplines (e.g. FMVSS 201u, FMVSS 214)
Exterior development
Pedestrian protection
We assume full development responsibility for pedestrian protection systems – from the early concept phase through to series production.
Simulation & virtual development: Virtual development processes and validation of FE models
System engineering & testing: Process understanding, prototype & conformity tests, accredited testing services
Integration & development: Consideration of pedestrian protection, bumper requirements and sensor integration
PedPro Sensor – Simulation and validation
We support the complete virtual development of PedPro systems for active hoods.
- Simulation and optimization of sensor signals over the entire temperature range: LT, RT, HT
- Simultaneous PedPro development for optimum system integration
- Virtual support for signal discrimination – “No-Fire” / “Must-Fire”
- Simulation of pressure sensor signals for left and right side
- Verification of pedestrian protection criteria: HTD Pedestrian, HIT, Upper-Body-Influence
Material characterization
Scope 1: Creation of validated material cards
- Plastics, metals, foams, composites
- Basis for precise simulations and system model
Scope 2: Validation of components / subsystems
- Examination of more complex components separately
- Validated components can be integrated directly into complete systems
- Examples: Vehicle frame, connecting elements, headlights
Scope 3: Validation of the complete system
- Review and validation of the entire simulation model
- Examples: Overall vehicle model, pedestrian protection model
Why TECCON Austria?
Test and development center since 1998
High flexibility
Remote testing
Virtual sharing via HoloLens, data transfer via file cloud
Strong global partnerships
Remote Testing at TECCON Austria
TECCON Austria now makes passive safety testing more flexible and efficient than ever before!
On-site test release means a lot of time and travel costs for our customers. But now there is an innovative solution: remote testing.
With Microsoft HoloLens and Microsoft Teams, you can be there live – without having to travel. A TECCON Austria employee can guide you through the test preparations by wearing the HoloLens, and you can discuss all the details directly with our test staff. Once all points have been clarified, you can conveniently approve the test remotely.
This saves time and money and makes the test even more efficient.
