abstract="In the context of the course &quot;Project Safety&quot; as part of the masters' degree in automotive engineering at the University of Applied Sciences Berlin (HTW Berlin), a rear-end collision sponsored by TUEV Rheinland was executed in December 2013 on the crash test facility of the Technical University of Berlin. At a speed of 56 km/h, a Ford Mondeo was driven against a stationary car (Opel Omega), which was equipped with a roof rack and a tow bar-mounted cycle carrier, each of them carrying two e-bikes. The aim of this experiment was to examine the crash-induced behavior of the vehicles and the bicycle rack, as well as to gain insights into the behavior of e-bikes in case of a collision. Of particular interest for the experiment was the impact a crash of this sort has on the built-in e-bike's battery pack.<p /> <p>Language: de</p>",
