ProCam Crash is a software module that has been specially designed for the measurement of vehicle geometries before and after crash tests. It guides the user through the measurements in an intuitive way. The software can be learned easily and uses integrated functions to optimize the measuring procedure. The user is able to define the details of the measuring procedure before the measurement starts.

Maintain order: structured measuring plans

First, the software calculates the alignment of the vehicle with an arbitrary number of points defined by diverse types of features (slot, circle, plane, etc.). An elaborate mechanical positioning of the vehicle, e. g. on a granite table with a damping system, is not necessary.

The points to be measured are stored in a structured measuring plan in a tree-hierarchy. Thanks to overview pictures, the user immediately knows the position of a measuring point on the vehicle. The measured points are highlighted in the tree-hierarchy, which permits the user to follow the progress of the measurement.

During the post-crash measurement, the same points are touched a second time; they are recorded in the same coordinate system and directly compared to the results of the pre-crash measurement. The existing deformation between the points is determined automatically and can be documented and visualized with the help of user specific reports.
