Coming to Exponent's TEC for rollover crash testing provides many options. Some rollover tests that we have conducted have involved ramps or dollies (including FMVSS 208). Others have simulated the more common, real-world condition of a lateral slide into a dirt- or curb-tripped roll. Rollovers are also simulated on our low dolly crash rail system or by using our crashworthy automated steering controller. When clients are interested in reproducing a particular roof strike during a rollover test, we conduct an inverted drop test or use our controlled rollover impact system.

The TEC played a key role in the development of new SAE recommended practices for occupant protection in heavy truck rollovers, by developing new test protocols and fixtures.
