How about a peek behind the curtain of automotive innovation here at the Automotive Safety Center? This isn’t just another test track. It is a place where the future of driving is being shaped. Since 1995, the Automotive Safety Center has been at the forefront of vehicle testing and development.
Originally, the Automotive Safety Center was created for Quattroruote magazine. They needed a dedicated facility to conduct safe and thorough car reviews. Over time, the Automotive Safety Center evolved into one of Europe’s leading automotive centers. It now boasts advanced tracks, off-road trails and a state-of-the-art conference center. The center blends seamlessly into the beautiful Lombard countryside.
Located near Milan, the Automotive Safety Center in Vairano is easily accessible. It’s a short drive from Milan’s Tangenziale Ovest, the Milano-Rogoredo railway station, and both Linate and Malpensa airports. Its strategic location makes it a hub for automotive innovation.
Here at the Automotive Safety Center, a wide range of activities take place. These range from vehicle instrument testing to specialized courses for automobiles, 4WDs, and commercial vehicles. We also conduct ADAS efficiency testing, pushing the boundaries of driver assistance systems. All this activity helps bring the future closer.
The Automotive Safety Center offers comprehensive solutions. You can rent the tracks or opt for turnkey testing services. Highly skilled engineers and testers use advanced instrumentation to evaluate vehicle performance. We measure vehicle dynamics, fuel consumption and comfort levels. We also assess the development of critical components like braking and safety systems. Even specialized equipment installed on vehicles is tested rigorously.
The Automotive Safety Center’s technological infrastructure is continuously updated. We have invested in cutting-edge equipment for field testing and ADAS assessment. This includes systems for automatic braking, pedestrian detection and lane-keeping. These advancements ensure that the vehicles of tomorrow are safer than ever before.
The Automotive Safety Center is also home to the Test Center for Quattroruote and Dueruote magazines. Additionally, the Laboratory of the CSIA is located here. The CSIA is an independent self-repair research center. It is dedicated to technical analyses and specific tests for the self-repair sector.
But the Automotive Safety Center is not just about testing. It is about collaboration. We partner with the University of Pavia for automotive-centered Master courses. This collaboration fosters the next generation of automotive engineers and innovators.
So, as you stand here at the Automotive Safety Center, remember that you’re at a place where safety meets innovation. This is where vehicles are pushed to their limits. New technologies are tested and refined. The Automotive Safety Center plays a vital role in shaping the future of the automotive industry and making our roads safer for everyone.
