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

The 4activeOD-newborn is the world’s first and only Euro NCAP-certified CPD dummy for newborns – validated under Euro NCAP CPD Test and Assessment Protocol – Child Presence Detection v1.3. Designed to give automotive engineers a physically accurate, reproducible test tool for detecting the most vulnerable occupants in a vehicle cabin.
Every year, newborns are left behind in vehicles with fatal consequences. Euro NCAP now requires reliable in-cabin child presence detection – and validating those systems demands a dummy that behaves like a real newborn, not a simplified approximation.

The 4activeOD-newborn replicates age-appropriate head, chest, and abdominal breathing movements across four behavioral states: Deep Sleep, Sleep, Wake Up, and Awake. Each state runs with selectable, adjustable breathing patterns – fully reproducible, independent of external variables. The internal actuation technology is intentionally housed inside the body, because genuine biomechanics require it. A proprietary skin material matches the radar properties of real human tissue and absorbs all internal signals, eliminating interference at the source. Compatible with radar, camera, infrared, UWB, and LiDAR.
Developed within the international CPD Consortium – more than 35 OEMs, Tier-1 suppliers, research institutions, and regulatory bodies – and confirmed as the only fully validated CPD dummy with sensor-realistic characteristics by direct industry partners.
