Vehicle Dynamics Component Inertia Testing Within Hours, Not Days The C1000 and C3000, part of the VIMF product family, are state-of-the-art machines, used by S-E-A consultants, for measuring the center of gravity (CG) of vehicle components, such as powertrains, tire wheel assemblies and seats. The C1000 is ideal for measuring the properties of passenger vehicle […]

Vehicle Dynamics ADS Test Data Interface Originally built during an SBIR project with NHTSA, S-E-A created the Automated Driving Systems (ADS) Test Data Interface (TDI) to bridge the gap between vehicle controls and control inputs for vehicles without conventional driver inputs (no pedals or steering wheel). Despite not having conventional controls available to the driver,

Vehicle Dynamics Dashboard AI™ Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) utilize a combination of visual and audible alerts to notify drivers when potential hazards exist. Test engineers evaluating these systems need to capture the occurrence of these warnings in a vehicle under test. S-E-A’s Dashboard AI ™ allows test engineers to do just that – identify

Vehicle Dynamics STRIDE Platform STRIDE (Small Test Robot for Individuals in Dangerous Environments) is a low-profile and overrunable robotic platform designed for carrying Vulnerable Road User (VRU) soft target manequins, such as pedestrians and bicyclists, for ADAS and intelligent vehicle evaluation or development. STRIDE is ideal for customers wishing to evaluate vehicle performance in scenarios

Vehicle Dynamics ADAS Evaluation New vehicles are becoming more advanced thanks to features like lane-keeping assistance, automatic emergency braking, and other advanced driver assistance features. This new technology has enormous potential for increasing vehicle safety, but it also adds new challenges to the failure analysis and investigation industry. Regulatory Testing for Advanced Vehicles ADAS technology

Environmental Exposure Testing and Analysis We are regularly exposed to toxic substances in our everyday lives – at home, in public and at work. Every single day. In fact, nearly all substances are toxic if the amount and concentration is high enough; but, as a mantra of Industrial Hygiene and Toxicology goes: “The dose makes

Asbestos Testing Since the 1970’s, manufacturers have, for the most part, found ways to design boilers, door gaskets, roof shingles and other building products without including the hazardous material, asbestos. Unfortunately, products surviving from that time period or before may contain the disease-inducing fibers. Even today it is possible that a product fabricated in and

Capability Noise Consulting & Testing If a tree falls in a forest and no one is around to hear it, does it make a sound? At S-E-A we do not tackle such philosophical questions, but we can tell you that the tree makes no noise. Noise, as described by Webster’s Dictionary, is an unwanted or

Capability Environmental Testing Since the Industrial Revolution mankind has dealt with pollution related to the production of goods. New technologies such as nano-particles and hydrofracking along with increasing environmental regulation have made it more critical than ever to have the right consultant or expert on your side. When attempting to determine if the air, soil
