The dummy is positioned and seated in the vehicle precisely according to the standards and regulations the test is based on. The DPS system consists of the camera bar comprising three high resolution digital cameras, a portable PC for system control, a wireless probe, accessories to target the points on the dummy, and the software module DPS in AICON 3D Studio.

The software module DPS has been specially developed for the purpose of dummy positioning. Combined with the DPS system, it serves as optical 3D positioning equipment that controls the 3D position of the dummy relative to the vehicle during the positioning process. With the help of measuring points or adapters, the current dummy position is recorded in real time, and compared to nominal data.

With all points on the dummy measured and displayed simultaneously in vehicle coordinates, the technician can quickly put the dummy into its target position. Movements of the vehicle that are caused by the positioning of the dummy are compensated automatically because of continuous monitoring of a set of targeted reference points.

The system allows for the measurement of additional coordinates of single points, lengths or angles with the probe according to a predefined measuring plan. The results are shown in a measurement report. Further individual processing via an XML export is available.
