Autoliv Enhances Vehicle Safety Through Virtual Testing

Autoliv, a global leader in automotive safety systems, has introduced its Human Body Model (HBM) Safety Suite, a virtual testing platform aimed at improving vehicle safety. Toyota, the first customer, is set to evaluate its potential. Virtual testing is becoming crucial for analyzing complex crash scenarios, complementing physical crash tests amid evolving safety demands and shorter development cycles.

Autoliv's HBM Safety Suite combines advanced human body modeling with software tools for analysis, helping to optimize safety performance earlier in automotive development. This platform offers insights into occupant responses that exceed capabilities of physical dummies, advancing automotive protection for diverse occupants.

With Autoliv planning a broader industry rollout in 2026, the platform is poised to support automakers in integrating virtual testing into safety development, aiming to reduce lead times and costs.
