Test Background:
A driver's forward field of view is a critical safety metric with complex measurement requirements and methods. The measurement results directly impact a driver's ability to assess and respond to road conditions; even vehicles equipped with advanced driver-assistance systems or autonomous driving technology must still be subject to strict regulation regarding this metric. This metric is one of the mandatory national certification requirements; currently, only Class M1 vehicles that comply with the relevant standards are permitted to be manufactured, sold, and operated on public roads.
Test Scope:
To ensure driver safety, automotive manufacturers must measure the area of the windshield’s transparent zone, the binocular obstruction angle of the A-pillars, and obstructions in the forward field of view’s S-zone, in accordance with the testing requirements and result evaluation criteria specified in *GB 11562-2014 Requirements and Measurement Methods for the Forward Field of View of Motor Vehicle Drivers.
Product Features:
In today's business environment, where companies are widely seeking to increase revenue, cut costs, and improve efficiency, traditional measurement methods—which are either too expensive or too slow in data acquisition—no longer meet customer needs. Given these complex measurement requirements, selecting the appropriate measurement solution and testing equipment has become a major challenge for many automakers. The forward field of view measurement device developed by Shenmei Company can accurately reproduce and locate key parameters such as points H, P1, P2, PM, V1, V2, E1, E2, E3, and E4. The device features stable, precise, and flexibly adjustable mechanical performance along the X, Y, and Z axes. It supports a wide range of seatback angles from 5 to 40 degrees, quickly captures the positions of the windshield area and the S-area, and provides rapid, intuitive readings of the binocular obstruction angle. This system offers researchers greater convenience, enhances experimental efficiency, and ensures stable mechanical performance during testing, thereby facilitating accurate data analysis.
