Curso: Automotive Safety Basic Concepts and Current Developments

Local: Anfiteatro da UNIP – Universidade Paulista (Rua Dr. Bacelar, 1212 – 3º andar – Vila Clementino – São Paulo – SP)

Carga Horária: 8 horas por dia – 8h30 as 17h30

Instructor: Rainer Hoffmann- Managing Director

Mr. Rainer Hoffmann has been involved in automotive safety throughout his professional career. After graduating in Germany with a degree in automotive engineering, Mr. Hoffmann was granted a Fulbright scholarship to work with Prof. Albert King at the world-renowned Bioengineering Center of Wayne State University in Detroit.

Back in Germany he joined a research group on passive safety at Porsche AG where he was involved in many aspects of automotive safety including accident research, occupant simulation, crash testing and safety engineering. Mr. Hoffmann advanced safety simulation by introducing new techniques like airbag simulation, airbag folding and Finite-Element Dummy modeling during his subsequent work with  ESI Group.

As the head of the simulation department of PARS (now Continental Safety Engineering), Mr. Hoffmann led the R&D efforts for some of the first series production side airbag developments.

In 1994 Mr. Hoffmann founded EASi Engineering GmbH, which in 2006 he renamed to carhs GmbH. carhs has gained significant recognition in the safety community through its advanced engineering services, software tools and its unique training center which serves the leading German and international OEM’s and suppliers.

Mr. Hoffmann has authored several dozen technical papers and has been granted German and international patents in the automotive safety field.
