Development of experimental methods for full-scale crash tests of off-road motorcycles and ski airbags

This thesis describes the facilities and the launching device employed for simulating full-scale crash tests involving off-road motorcycle falls, including low-side crashes, high-side crashes, and wrong jumps. It provides an overview of the methods and tools used for these simulations and proposes adaptations to the system to enable crash tests for validating ski airbags. Additionally, the study documents the development and improvements of the crash test dummy, along with the analysis of experimental data collected during tests.
