In the alpha cabin, both the airborne sound absorption and the equivalent absorption area of a material sample or component are determined as a function of frequency on the basis of the measured and averaged reverberation times. The basis is the calculation of the reverberation time according to Wallace C. Sabine ("Sabine'sche Formel) as well as DIN EN ISO 354.

In the test stand, the overall acoustic effectiveness of a component is measured by determining the insertion loss. This measurement is carried out by comparing the noise levels with and without the test material. The test bench generates vibrations and noises in order to evaluate the sound insulation and damping of the material for both airborne and structure-borne sound.

Test to evaluate the efficiency and practicability of assembling and disassembling vehicle components under realistic conditions. The aim is to identify potential difficulties or opportunities for improvement in the assembly and disassembly process. This standard helps manufacturers to optimize the maintainability and repairability of their vehicles and ensures that components can be assembled efficiently and replaced easily if necessary.

Autonomous Emergency Braking Car-to-Car (AEB C2C) is a test to evaluate the effectiveness of automatic emergency braking systems in various vehicle-to-vehicle scenarios. The tests simulate realistic traffic situations in order to evaluate the performance of the AEB system. Collision situations with stationary, moving and braking vehicles are tested, as well as intersection scenarios and potential head-on collisions. The system is tested for its ability to recognize hazards in good time, warn the driver and automatically initiate emergency braking if necessary. The evaluation includes reaction time, braking force and the ability to avoid or minimize the consequences of a collision

Test to evaluate the effectiveness of automatic emergency braking systems in rear-end collision situations. The tests simulate scenarios in which the vehicle approaches a vehicle in front that is traveling slower or brakes suddenly. The ability of the system to recognize the risk of a collision, warn the driver and brake automatically if necessary is evaluated. The test includes various speeds, distances and braking forces of the vehicle in front in order to test the reliability of the system in typical collision situations.

Testing to evaluate the performance of automatic emergency braking systems in scenarios involving cyclists. The tests include situations in which cyclists cross the road or ride parallel to the vehicle. The ability of the system to detect cyclists, warn the driver and, if necessary, brake automatically is evaluated. The test takes into account different speeds, angles and lighting conditions in order to comprehensively test the system's reliability.

Test to evaluate the effectiveness of automatic emergency braking systems in scenarios involving pedestrians. The tests simulate various situations in which pedestrians are crossing the road or are at the side of the road. The system's ability to detect pedestrians, warn the driver and initiate emergency braking if necessary is tested. The evaluation includes reaction time, braking force and collision avoidance at different speeds and environmental conditions.

Test to assess the effectiveness of automatic emergency braking systems in scenarios involving motorized two-wheelers. The tests include situations in which motorcycles or scooters approach or overtake the vehicle at different angles and speeds. The system's ability to detect PTWs, warn the driver and perform emergency braking if necessary is tested. The assessment takes into account the particular challenges of detecting smaller, fast-moving vehicles.
