Full-load occupant simulation reveals Changan Auchan collision test

  [car home Safety Technology] For most netizens, the collision test of automobiles is a relatively unfamiliar field. However, the birth of every new car must go through this test about the safety of car owners. Recently, Changan Automobile seems to have fallen in love with the "brush" performance in the crash test, and has also spent a lot of effort on crash safety. Their products from Yidong to CS75 have achieved good results in the domestic crash safety test. From the perspective of Chang ‘an people, of course, they will not be satisfied with the results in the car crash test, so they built an MPV—— with a five-star safety rating standard-Chang ‘an Auchan (hereinafter referred to as Auchan). Because MPV can carry more passengers, it is particularly important to protect the passenger compartment. Before Auchan’s C-NCAP test results were officially announced, I had the honor to visit a 100% frontal crash test of Auchan in Changan Automobile Research Institute.

Home of the car

  The C-NCAP crash test has experienced the development of three generations of regulations. From the original 2009 version to the current 2015 version, the requirements for "five-star" safety performance are also increasing. Now the latest regulations are more stringent on the basis of the 2012 version. The driver’s seat belt prompt function and ISOFIX function were cancelled, and the total score was reduced from 62 to 61, but the total score and evaluation method for frontal collision remained unchanged, still 18 points.

  At present, the minimum score of five-star performance has increased from 52 to 54, while the minimum score of four-star performance has increased from 44 to 48, which also puts forward higher requirements for future vehicles.

● Different from the previous full-load collision test.

Changan Automobile Auchan 2015 Basic Model

  At present, the test of C-NCAP stipulates that Changan Auchan only needs to place four test dummies in the front row and the second row. However, you should know that it is a 7-seat MPV, and there will be a situation full of seven members in actual use. Therefore, the engineers of Chang ‘an Automobile Research Institute heroically stuffed this car with seven test dummies, which simulated the vehicle state when the collision occurred in the real car situation to the maximum extent. In order to ensure the safety of all seven members in the car, the body structure and materials are the first problems that engineers should consider.

Changan Automobile Auchan 2015 Basic Model

  According to the regulations of C-NCAP, the test of 100% frontal collision is specified in detail, but simply speaking, the so-called 100% frontal collision can be understood as the test that the vehicle collides with a fixed rigid object at a speed of 50 km/h.

Changan Automobile Auchan 2015 Basic Model

  In the crash test laboratory of Changan Automobile Research Institute, there are more than 300 vehicles used for testing every year. This figure shows that almost every day, an Changan automobile is crashed here with a "duang" for the safety of its owners, so as to exchange a large number of test data related to vehicle safety to improve or improve the safety performance of vehicles.

Changan Automobile Auchan 2015 Basic Model

Changan Automobile Auchan 2015 Basic Model

  Before the collision, the engineer will install various sensors for the tested vehicle to record all kinds of data fed back when the vehicle collides. Of course, the most important one is the crash test dummy, and the price of the Hybrid III dummy used for the test is as high as one million yuan. Manufacturers can provide adult male, female and child dummies for simulation test. They are not only expensive, but also have strict regulations in the use process, and often need to re-calibrate the parameters after several collision tests, which can be said to be expensive and exquisite.

● Auchan collision test

Changan Automobile Auchan 2015 Basic Model

  In just a few seconds, the tested vehicle was accelerated to 50km/h in the test site and hit the fixed rigid wall at this speed. This is a very short process, and the rest is a lot of analysis of the impact data by engineers. It can be seen from the pictures on the scene that after the collision, Auchan’s front car has obviously collapsed and absorbed energy, and the length of the engine compartment has changed obviously.

Changan Automobile Auchan 2015 Basic Model

Changan Automobile Auchan 2015 Basic Model

  Because the specific collision data and results of Auchan are not known at present, we can only make visual observation from the collision vehicles at the scene and make a comprehensive analysis combining with some previously published materials.

Changan Automobile Auchan 2015 Basic Model

  For the force transmission structure design of the front part of the car body during collision, Auchan added the design of collision dowel bar to the front part of the car body, which can quickly disperse the force acting on the car body during collision and ensure the integrity of the passenger compartment.

Changan Automobile Auchan 2015 Basic Model

  The design concept of modern automobile is to absorb energy from the engine compartment at the front of the car body as much as possible to ensure the structural integrity of the passenger compartment and the safety of passengers in the car. Therefore, the front position needs to be designed to be "hard and soft": hard means to reduce the damage of the vehicle and reduce the maintenance cost in the future when a low-speed collision does not hurt the occupants in the vehicle; Soft is to sacrifice the space outside the passenger compartment as much as possible to ensure the safety of passengers in case of inevitable serious collision. In order not to deform during collision, the passenger compartment needs to be constructed with very strong materials.

Changan Automobile Auchan 2015 Basic Model

  Auchan used a lot of high-strength steel as the construction material of the body frame in the design, and the proportion of high-strength steel with yield strength higher than 280 MPa reached 65%. Steel with yield strength higher than 340 MPa was used in the front anti-collision beam, A-pillar, B-pillar reinforcement and rear longitudinal beam, which played a key role in the collision process, to ensure the safety of the passenger compartment.

Changan Automobile Auchan 2015 Basic Model

  After the collision, Auchan’s front fender was deformed to a certain extent, which had a slight impact on the opening of the front door. Due to the interference of the front fender, the front door needed a little force to open to the maximum angle. However, because the passenger compartment has not been deformed, the doors on both sides can still be opened and closed normally.

Changan Automobile Auchan 2015 Basic Model

  As for Auchan’s collision test, the manufacturer provided us with pictures taken by high-speed cameras and GIF dynamic pictures, which can show the whole process of the collision and provide help for data analysis after the collision test.

Changan Automobile Auchan 2015 Basic Model

  Not only the head of the passenger in the car, but also the passenger will move due to inertia in the process of collision. At this time, the only measures to ensure safety to the greatest extent are seat belts and airbags. If you don’t wear seat belts, airbags will pop up and even cause more serious injuries to the passengers during collision. Therefore, it is a very good habit to fasten your seat belt when you get on the bus. The important thing is to say it again: please get into the habit of fastening your seat belt when you get on the bus.

● Changan’s research and development on safety technology.

  At the technical briefing before the crash test, Changan Automobile Research Institute also introduced several new safety technologies that are being developed and will be applied to Changan Automobile in the near future.

Changan Automobile Auchan 2015 Basic Model

  According to Zhao Hui, president of Chang ‘an Automobile Research Institute, Chang ‘an is currently developing a new technology of seat belt airbag, which is different from the common seat belt design with airbag on the market at present. Its airbag is placed at the belt position of three-point seat belt. This design can better bind passengers closer to the center of gravity of the human body, prevent them from sliding forward due to inertia when a collision occurs, and play a better protection effect when working with the front airbag.

Changan Automobile Auchan 2015 Basic Model

  In terms of the safety protection of rear passengers, Changan is at the forefront of China brand. Engineers of Changan Automobile Research Institute are developing the front airbag for rear passengers: this is a technology that integrates the front seat back angle sensor, passenger weight sensor and step-by-step pop-up airbag. It can actively adjust the ejection strength of the airbag according to different body types and the backrest angle of the front seat, and can provide better protection effect for the rear passengers. It is reported that this technology is expected to be put into mass production within 3-5 years.

Changan Automobile Auchan 2015 Basic Model

Editor’s summary:

  Thanks to the use of collapsible materials and reasonable structural design, Auchan dispersed and absorbed collision energy by collapsing the front engine compartment when a collision occurred. The optimization of the car body structure and the use of high-strength steel can quickly disperse the impact force generated by the collision to all parts of the car body after the collision and ensure the safety of the occupants in the car through the high-strength passenger compartment structure. This design concept is the most mainstream and most reasonable collision safety protection concept at present. As mentioned at the beginning of the article, Changan has obtained or will obtain a five-star safety rating from Yidong to CS75 to Auchan we see today. Behind the achievements is Changan’s great efforts in the safety field, so we are very happy to see a China brand MPV with excellent safety performance. (Photo/Text car home Luo Aoyu)

However, having a high degree of attention does not mean that it will sell well. Then, how many of the above new cars will be able to enter the hot-selling ranks? We will wait and see.

Audi Q5 and Quattro with the reputation of four-wheel drive test.

  Foreword: Perhaps it is our personality. When more than ten people stand in front of these eight cars, everyone’s excitement is self-evident. On the other hand, these SUVs, which respectively represent the so-called American, European and Japanese styles, occupy a completely different position in the hearts of every editor. Although it can be seen from everyone’s expressions that this is definitely an enjoyable test, we still want to emphasize here that the focus of this test is on each four-wheel drive system. Emphasis on the systematic characteristics of highway performance, fashionable appearance and load-bearing body, obviously they are not hard-core representatives in cross-country fans, but they are ideal choices closer to urban people.

Review points in the past (click on the thumbnail to read directly)

  Through the performance of each car on the spot, we have reason to refuse all kinds of paper talks, because many results will be beyond your expectation. Let’s take the lead in this test — — Audi Q5 2.0T limited edition sports edition and the famous quattro four-wheel drive system. Audi Q5 2.0T limited edition sports edition has a dynamic appearance and no cross-country style at all. The forward front axle not only makes it look much leaner than the elder brother Q7, but more importantly, the front suspension of Q5 is designed to be shorter than that of many opponents, which will bring it a larger approach angle.

Aika car network pictures

  In the field test, you will find that "whether the wheel suspension system can effectively lock and distribute power reasonably" is another story, provided that you can drive up the slope first. Although this sounds a bit ridiculous, it is indeed a very important prerequisite for "outdoor sports". Generally speaking, the slightly sedan Q5 front bumper is visually heavy, but there is no problem in entering the venue smoothly. If there’s no problem, take the rough road first!

Audi Q5

  Speaking of which, we need to look at the parameters of Q5′ s height from the ground. According to the data, the minimum ground clearance of Q5 is 185mm, which is not particularly small, so we have to assume that its wheelbase has somewhat dragged down its hind legs. Everything has its advantages and disadvantages. Originally, due to the long wheelbase and balanced counterweight brought by the forward movement of the front axle, Q5 suffered a little loss here. Finally, another colleague, under the command of the people outside the car, barely passed the area by taking the wheel on one side first. However, we can clearly see from the photos that the space left in the chassis is also very small.

Q5 actually passed the performance test.


 

  “quattro”— — It may be the first instinct of many people to hear the four-wheel drive system. Of course, I don’t think it is necessary to talk about the origin of "quattro" or anything else here. The actual performance of the system itself on the imported Audi Q5 is the most important. Compared with rough roads, I wonder if these test vehicles, if they have life, will be a little scared to look at such a high cross-axis road? To tell the truth, such a harsh road surface is not suitable for these city SUVs with load-bearing bodies to challenge, but in order to clearly present the working state of their four-wheel drive system, the cross axle is today’s "compulsory subject". 

 

__________________________________________________________________________________

  Cross axis:In the previous test project mainly aimed at hard-core off-road vehicles, because the wheels will be off the ground when the wheels on both sides are in different height drop positions, the way of power distribution of the four-wheel drive system of the vehicle can be clearly seen at this time, and the electronic system carried by the vehicle can be triggered to test whether the electronic system of this kind of urban SUV can play an obvious role.

concurrent axis

__________________________________________________________________________________

  Q5′ s performance in the cross-axis project test is not very good, but it is not difficult to pass the project with the reliability of quattro four-wheel drive system. Q5 didn’t expose any defects of quattro four-wheel drive system when starting to cross the axle, and everything of the vehicle remained normal. Only Q5′ s suspension stroke was short, and soon the wheels were suspended. At this time, we found that quattro four-wheel drive system can distribute power to the front and rear axles as required (Torsen differential can distribute 65% power to the front axle or 85% power to the rear axle at most in the limit state).

  When the wheels off the ground idling, Q5′ s electronic system didn’t take any measures to control the idling tires, and of course, it didn’t transmit all the power to the two wheels with grip. From this, we can see that the Audi quattro four-wheel drive system can distribute the power between the front and rear axles in the limit state, but the electronic system is dragging its hind legs. When Q5 chooses the middle route of the cross axle (the route with the smallest difference between the front and rear), it can only barely pass.

 


Cross-axle test Q5 four-wheel power distribution


 

  Then we increased the difficulty and let the vehicle drive on the left side of the big hump. The undulating angle of this road surface is larger and more difficult. At the beginning, Q5′ s performance was relatively stable. However, when the cross-axle wheels were off the ground, Q5′ s electronic auxiliary system still didn’t help us lock the idling wheels. It can also be seen that the electronic system equipped with Q5 for our test drive didn’t have EDL (electronic differential system) function. Facing the big gradient, Q5 relies on Torsen differential to distribute more power to the rear axle with strong grip, but at this time, it needs a big foot throttle to keep the vehicle moving forward, and it is not easy to pass this project.

audi Q5

 

  After "hard work", Audi Q5 still stumbled through this section, and our test driver quickly returned the car to the central area of the cross axle. To sum up, in the whole quattro four-wheel drive system, the Torsen differential still completed its mission, and let the only two wheels push the car up the steep slope with difficulty, but we didn’t see any electronic system coming out to brake the idling wheels, which directly affected the more reasonable distribution of power and led to the Q5′ s performance here being a little ordinary and somewhat unexpected. Let’s review the whole process by video.

Driving on one side of the cross shaft almost stumbles Q5.


  "Can your SUV climb a hill?" This topic seems to be very popular some time ago. In fact, it doesn’t necessarily need a big slope. We use a simpler method to test whether each four-wheel drive system can overcome the slippery slope. We paved a 10-meter-long rubber mulching film on a slope of about 15, and sprinkled a lot of soapy water on it to simulate a slippery road surface. During the test, we put the two wheels on the left side of the vehicle on the plastic film, and the right side still touches the ground normally. The test vehicle climbs the hill only by the driving force of two wheels on one side. Through this test, we can reflect the help of four-wheel drive system to our driving after snow.

Audi Q5

  Q5 performed well in this project. When stepping on the accelerator for about 30% at the start, two hungry tires on the left side of the road slipped slightly, but the ESP system immediately intervened to brake the slipping wheels with ABS, so as to reduce the wheel speed and make the wheels form rolling friction with the ground as much as possible, so as to prevent the wheels from idling and slipping, and make the tires on the wet road give full play to their grip as much as possible. Later, we tried to start at various throttle depths, and the electronic system could intervene to help us in time. After repeated experiments and splashing soapy water many times, Q5 could climb the ramp smoothly without any ambiguity.

Audi Q5

  After the ESP electronic system was turned off, we tested it again. At this time, we found that the electronic system of Q5 could not be completely turned off only by the switch on the center console. In an emergency, the electronic stability system will still help us to brake the tires that slip and idle, so that the vehicle can drive up the hill smoothly in this state. It can be seen that Audi’s quattro four-wheel drive system will perform better when all four wheels have grip, and the electronic system will work more actively, which is of great help to the driving performance of the vehicle.

Challenge the 15 slippery slope


 

  You’re welcome to say, when you reach the high-speed pile-piercing area of this flat land, you can really reach the home of Audi Q5. For the Audi Q5, the high-power version of the 2.0T engine is the source of abundant power, which is also a great attraction for editors to compete for driving the Q5. The details such as the Bridgestone tire equipped with model 255/45R20 have become the places we appreciate in the pile-winding test.

Audi Q5

Audi Q5

  Audi’s driving mode option is definitely one of the most worthy configurations, because by choosing three driving modes, you can really get three completely different driving experiences. In the pile-winding test, all options must be adjusted to "dynamic" mode, and the driving computer makes Q5 one of the most interesting SUVs by adjusting the engine, gearbox, steering and suspension system.

Audi Q5

  The change of steering and suspension system is obvious. The steering wheel diameter of Q5 is very small, and the precise steering system in sports mode greatly facilitates the driver’s control. Although the suspension system has been strengthened, it still has a certain tilt when it is around the pile, but it is much more obvious to stand outside the car than to sit in the car. In order to take care of the comfort of daily driving, the initial adjustment of the suspension system is still a little soft, which is also the fundamental source of the tilt. However, that’s all. The solid support in the rear section will never make the roll continue endlessly, so I always challenge for higher speed with confidence when driving the Q5 for the control test.

 

 

 

Audi Q5

  Sensitive power output will affect the smoothness of the control test to a certain extent at this time, because the cooperation between the 2.0T engine hidden in the engine room and the 7-speed powershift is almost flawless, so people have to be careful with the accelerator pedal. Once their actions are deliberately amplified, the tires will slip seriously, resulting in slight understeer. Fortunately, the quattro four-wheel drive system will avoid this situation as soon as possible and correct it through the electronic system.

Aika car network pictures

  Due to the change of the test site, the adhesion of the ground is lower than that of the commonly used test site, which leads to the performance of the tire becoming a short board of the handling test. Bridgestone’s DUELER H/P SPOR series tires are road tires designed as SUVs, rather than high-performance tires. In extreme cases, the grip is not as good as expected, but the power distribution biased towards the rear wheels does make people feel better tracking performance and more flexible vehicle control ability.

 


Experience and final summary of high-speed pile penetration


  Summary: In fact, the ultimate goal of all simple or slightly complicated tests is to tell friends who are interested in this car whether it meets your needs. In today’s test, Q5′ s comprehensive performance is good. Except for the cross axis, it seems that it does not show the function of EDL electronic anti-skid differential lock system, and other aspects have shown a high level. Recently, we will also launch the test results of four-wheel drive systems of several models, such as SRX and XC60, as well as the comparative tests of various models of the same level, so stay tuned!

  3. Guotai Junan: Russian metal has been subjected to several rounds of sanctions, and the impact of this sanctions may be weak.

  Guotai Junan Research Report said that since the "Russia-Ukraine conflict", countries such as Britain and the United States have been restricting the Russian metal market. In March 2023, the United States imposed a 200% tariff on aluminum produced in Russia and its processed products, and extended it to tax products using Russian aluminum; In December 2023, the United Kingdom introduced legislation that directly prohibited the import of Russian metals (including aluminum, copper and nickel). After the previous sanctions, the delivery channels of Russian metals have been diversified. On the other hand, referring to April 2018, when LME refused to accept aluminum ingots produced by Rusal as the delivery target, the export volume of Rusal decreased by about 70% compared with the monthly average in 2017, while in May 2018 it was higher than the monthly average in 2017 by 21%. Although LME plays a key role in global metal pricing, most metals are traded among miners, traders and manufacturers without entering LME warehouses. Therefore, being excluded from the deliverable brand of the futures exchange will not greatly weaken Russia’s ability to export related metals. Russian metals continue to flow to China, which may lead to loose supply of aluminum, copper and nickel, while overseas metals are in short supply. Domestic metal processing enterprises may benefit from lower costs and increased export demand.

  4. After nearly three years, cannabidiol was mentioned again, and it was managed as a "medical instrument" product.

  According to the Securities Times, recently, China Food and Drug Inspection Institute (hereinafter referred to as "the Central Inspection Institute") released the Summary of the First Classification and Definition Results of Medical Device Products in 2024. It is noteworthy that drugs containing cannabidiol have been re-included in the management category. According to the above documents, it is suggested that among the 10 products whose management attributes are defined according to the judgment procedure of pharmaceutical machinery combination products, the first one is nasal antiallergic gel, which contains cannabidiol. According to the document, cannabidiol is a pure natural component extracted from cannabis plants and has analgesic and anti-inflammatory effects. However, the above-mentioned documents also point out that the 10 suggestions are only preliminary suggestions according to the combination products of pharmaceutical machinery, and the determination of their specific management attributes needs to be determined according to the relevant requirements for defining the attributes of pharmaceutical machinery combination products.

  According to science and technology innovation board Daily, this morning, it was reported on the Internet that some merchants in Shenzhen Shuibei "ran away" with hundreds of kilograms of gold. The reporter interviewed a number of water shellfish people and learned that the rumor is true, involving up to 200 million yuan, about 400 kilograms of gold value. A gold supplier of shellfish said that the "runner" was the upstream supplier, and the injured group was the downstream small counter merchants. Some shellfish suppliers were used to attracting counter merchants with prices lower than those in the venue (Shanghai Gold Exchange belongs to the venue), and there was often gambling behind it. Recently, the price of gold rose rapidly, which easily led to gambling failure.

How does the 2024 BMW i5 compare with Tesla Model S?

Finally, a new electric car has been introduced, but how does it compare with it?

It has long been regarded as the king of medium-sized luxury cars, but in 2024, an electric car, the i5, was introduced. It turned its attention to. The question is, can it really become the most recognized battery-driven car on the market? Let’s have a look.

To put it bluntly, it is cheaper. In the entry version, compared with Tesla’s $82,000, the starting price of the i5 is $69,000. However, on the M60, although it is more expensive than Tesla, BMW’s M performance is incomparable to Tesla.

Imitating Apple is one of the reasons why Tesla’s demand continues to rise. Unlike the conventional DC charging stations available to the public, Tesla has been investing in a powerful network of 3-level super charging stations all over the world. Tesla has higher charging power when charging. The 2023 Model S has a fast charging architecture with standard dual-motor settings, and promises to travel 200 miles within 15 minutes of charging. Therefore, BMW can’t compete with Tesla in charging. The cruising range is between 296 miles and 362 miles.

Driver assistance is all the rage now, and BMW i5 is no stranger to this trend. In fact, in addition to the usual BLIS system and night vision headlights, the i5 is equipped with a lane-changing assistant that is different from anything else on the market. This technology is called an active lane-changing assistant system with eye confirmation function. It uses two sets of cameras-some internal cameras and some external cameras-to automatically drive into the lane without any physical input.

The in-car camera tracks the driver’s eye movement through a set of cameras wedged into the dashboard, and when it detects a gap in the road, it will suggest changing lanes. If you really want to approve this proposal, all you have to do is blink cheekily at the left mirror or the right mirror (depending on the space you want to enter), and then the assistant will take over.

Tesla has long been regarded as a pioneer of this technology. Since the launch of the first Model s in 2014, it has been implementing iterations of autonomous driving software. Now the system has become completely powerful, and can follow the route guidance of going up and down the ramp without any driver’s intervention.

BMW has rolled up its sleeves and transformed the 5 Series, especially in the cab. The previous generation BMW was criticized for the minefield of buttons, selection knobs and touch pads, which made such simple things as volume reduction difficult. For i5, the number of buttons is significantly reduced, and most special functions can only be accessed through the new touch screen. The driver information display screen adopts a curved design similar to a sun visor, which is a 12.3-inch ultra-clear panel and integrated with a 14.9-inch multimedia screen.

Enthusiastic supporters of the Model S Owners Club quickly reminded anyone that cheap interiors are an inevitable by-product of environmental awareness. As far as i5 is concerned, this concept is sheer nonsense. In fact, the i5 and the new 5-series ICE variants represent BMW’s first vegan interior as a standard. Veganza surface reflects the softness of animal leather, and optional perforation and decorative quilting are provided to enhance the seating experience.

The i5 doesn’t lack amazing screens, buttons and gimmicks, but it’s a little sensory overload. Between the daunting shape and figuring out the cabin yourself, you may need to call on sick leave to connect. On the other hand, Model S retains its ergonomic style and is very simple to use.

In 2023, the almost borderless central screen will become horizontal, cut in half, and beautified with a clearer 2200×1300 display. The whole user interface on the first and second rows of screens has the modern practicability of smart phones, and there is no fuss.

In terms of control, there is no dispute that i5 should have the upper hand. Just like every BMW (M or other) that leaves the production workshop, each one has undergone a rigorous test to determine its ability to have sports and comfort characteristics. The handling performance of the i5 is shown as a widened track with horns on both axles-by the way, this is to achieve a nearly perfect 50:50 load distribution.

M60s sports suspension is available in standard i5, which is equivalent to electronically controlled shock absorber, active steering and vertical dynamic management system. To put it simply, the i5 should be able to manage less compliant roads, and the spring coefficient can be reduced during driving, which means excellent handling.
