The CASR Impact Laboratory is a purpose built facility.

Head Impact Test Machine
This machine tests the response of a vehicle surface to a head impact. It has the following features: Powered by rubber bungie cords Propels a 5 kg headform at up to 80 km/h Highly repeatable headform velocities Fully instrumented to measure the velocity and acceleration of the headform Pivoting arm allows any external part of the vehicle to be impacted from any angle
Leg Impact Test Machine
This machine tests the response of the front of a vehicle to a leg impact. It uses the same basic technology as the head impact test machine and can accommodate upper or full legform tests at any angle
