Once you’ve completed a test plan and logistical arrangements have been made, your confidential testing is conducted at CAPE in the presence of customer representatives, if desired. Test events are recorded using still cameras and high-speed digital imagers placed in selected locations to provide multiple views of crash events. Observation rooms allow customers to observe testing. CAPE also offers office space and internet access, allowing customers to stay in contact with their home office during their visit.
When testing is completed, CAPE technicians conduct a post-test vehicle walk-around with the customer representative, using video and audio narration to complete the test record. This service provides customers with a tool that simplifies communication of test results with decision-makers who were not present for testing. Upon request, high-resolution video and photos are collected for use in product promotions.
Customers have full use of an equipped machine shop for fixture fabrication. Secure work bays accommodate virtually any size vehicle for test preparation and fabrication. CAPE staff members can quickly respond to testing challenges, including component modifications as required.
