4activeOD-newborn
solutions for Child Presence Detection (CPD)

4activeSystems works closely with Euro NCAP to protect and safeguard newborns inside vehicles. Extreme temperatures in the car interior and distracted or stressed caregivers – a combination that can lead to tragic outcomes. To prevent babies from being left behind in vehicles, we began developing the OD Newborn Dummy. It simulates lifelike, human‑like head, leg, and arm movements, as well as adjustable breathing patterns of a newborn. Highly realistic, skin‑like material provides extremely precise radar feedback for all common frequencies used in in‑cabin radar systems. With this, we set new standards that go beyond simplified solutions.

From the very beginning, our mission has been clear: to develop the world’s most realistic and reliable in‑cabin dummy. With the help of our dummy, vehicle systems can be trained to safely detect dangerous situations and react immediately in an emergency.

Our OD Newborn can simulate four basic movement patterns: DeepSleep, Sleep, WakeUp, and Awake. In addition, you can trigger individual movement patterns manually. This dummy will be crucial for the future.

Confirmed in one of the industry’s largest consortium projects.
Developed in collaboration with experts from more than 35 leading international companies within the five‑year Euro NCAP CPD project. This makes it the only fully validated CPD dummy with highly realistic sensor‑relevant characteristics – confirmed directly by industry partners.
