Travels on the Road of Automotive Safety Engineering
A look at how automotive engineering has helped us to stay safe.
Smart Partnering, Smarter Bombs
Smart bombs use GPS for guidance—the same type of system that drivers use on road trips. In addition to increased precision, smart bombs can be as much as 20 times cheaper to build than smart missiles, which use jet engines to propel themselves.
Type 3 Rail Mount CNG Fuel System for Trucks
The rail mount is the lightest fuel system on the market, offering a similar operating experience to diesel trucks.
London Tube Line Gets New AC Motors on Rail Cars
Bombardier Transportation won a $140 million contract from London Underground to supply motors and traction control equipment for its Central line trains.
The Right Shims for the Right Applications
Mechanical assemblies need precision to function and endure. Sloppy design practices using lower-cost, shoddy components and out-of-date manufacturing and testing can lead to failures, unexpected costs and even safety concerns.
Watch: The Future of Car Parts
A new extrusion process may make magnesium, the lightest of all structural metals, feasible for use in car parts. The process eliminates the need to incorporate rare-earth elements to impart structural strength.
