Guided Soft Crash Vehicle
Guided Soft Target
The ABD Guided Soft Target Vehicle (GST) is designed for use in the testing of vehicle Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS), and is particularly suited to the testing of vehicle collision detection and crash mitigation systems. The GST is the result of collaboration between ABD and Dynamic Research Inc. of Torrance, California, (DRI).
