AB Dynamics Japan and JARI strengthen partnership with inaugural Open House event

On October 4^th, our Japanese team hosted its inaugural Open House demonstration in collaboration with the Japan Automobile Research Institute (JARI) at their track test centre in Shirosato, Japan. With over 50 customers in attendance, this event provided a unique opportunity to connect, exchange ideas, and showcase our latest track testing innovations.

The day kicked off with an engaging presentation of our product lineup, setting the stage for a series of dynamic live demonstrations. Guests were introduced to DRI’s full spectrum of soft targets, including the Soft Pedestrian 360, Soft Car 360 and Soft Motorcycle 360. Attendees also enjoyed an exclusive preview of DRI’s latest soft target, which will be launching to the global market later this month.

The day focussed largely on demonstrating Euro NCAP ADAS and AD (Assisted Driving) test scenarios. A highlight of the day was the Car-to-Car Crossing Straight Crossing Path demonstration, where the GST 120 and Soft Car 360 put on an impressive display of their acceleration capabilities. Other scenarios demonstrated included the Motorcycle AEB CMRb test, featuring the LaunchPad 80 and Soft Motorcycle 360, and a demonstration of a turning scenario simulating intricate pedestrian movements with the LaunchPad Spin, DRI’s Soft Pedestrian Child dummy and the GTC Remote.

This event also highlighted AB Dynamics’ Japanese rental services available through the partnership with JARI. Through this collaboration, local customers can access our industry-leading testing equipment at the JARI test facility, including driving robots and ADAS platforms and targets, for both short- and long-term projects.

The Open House event marks a significant milestone in our long-standing collaboration with JARI, reinforcing our joint commitment to advancing vehicle testing technologies in Japan. We were thrilled to see participants enjoying the event while gaining valuable insights into our innovative solutions.
