Validation
EDC places a major emphasis on the validation of its reconstruction and
simulation programs. Our standard validation procedure involves the development of a set of control tests that exercise each program option
and function. Additional validations are performed that compare the program results with actual
vehicle handling studies, staged crash tests or other industry-recognized data. Finally, a statistical
analysis is performed to quantify the accuracy of the programs. The result is an honest validation that confirms where the programs work
well and where they do not. Publications listed below present the validation of several EDC programs and also some of the source data used
for the validations.
To order a publication, please use one of the following methods:
- Contact EDC Sales by phone at 503.644.4500
