Student safety technology design competition
What is the Student Safety Technology Design Competition (SSTDC)?
SSTDC : Student Safety Technology Design Competition

This is an event with student participation that has been held since 1 as one of the programs of the "ESV International Conference" on automobile safety technology, which gathers road transport policymakers from various countries, automobile manufacturers, universities, and others.
Once every two years, an international competition is held, bringing together representative schools from around the world that have survived the qualifying round.
The Japan regional competition, which also serves as representative selection, is held at this association.
In this competition, student teams from each university and graduate school present their own technological ideas for solving safety problems and compete on their novelty, expandability, and practicality.
Since presentations are made using scale models, not only ideas but also technical support and sufficient verification are required.
