3rd Collegiate Student Safety Technology Design Competition

PDF version

The Collegiate Student Safety Technology Design Competition gives young scholars from Asia-Pacific, Europe, and North America an exciting opportunity to design, build, and demonstrate a potentially cost effective conceptual scale model of a vehicle safety technology.  Participating teams must be from an ESV Member Country.

Teams consisting of university level seniors and/or graduate students, guided by a faculty advisor, enter a 300-word abstract on a theme related to a global vehicle safety research priority.  Entries are judged on the basis of the abstract in each of the three geographical regions and six teams are selected to participate in their regional competition.  A panel of safety experts from each region visits their team’s school and evaluates the safety devices and the designs, and select three team finalists per region.  

The three team finalists from each region compete for top honors at the 21st ESV 2009 in Stuttgart, Germany, and their prototype devices will be displayed in the Exhibition Hall at the ESV Conference.  An international panel of judges made-up of vehicle safety engineering experts from around the globe, will select the first-place winner and the runner up, both of whom will receive their respective awards and international recognition for their achievements.

Entry to the competition is now CLOSED. Please reference the judging criteria for addition information.
