The TASI Vehicle Research Lab was established in 2012.  The lab focuses on the research and development of vehicle active safety test procedures and methods. The outcome of the studies is to contribute the establishment of national and international vehicle testing standards.  The lab also actively develops new test equipment for new vehicle active safety features. This lab is equipped with all necessary equipment for the performance test and evaluation of vehicle, pedestrian, and bicyclist autonomous emergency braking systems.  The tests can be performed year around in an 800 meter long straight and curved test track in daylight, dark and dark-lit conditions.
