Dr. Michiel van Ratingen, European New Car Assessment Program (Euro NCAP), Belgium
Michiel van Ratingen, PhD., PDEng., Msc. (1966) is a graduate from the Eindhoven University of Technology and the Medical University of Maastricht in the Netherlands and received his PhD degree in 1994. Michiel joined TNO Automotive in 1995 where he was involved in vehicle crash safety research and development, first as crash test dummy design engineer and later in more senior research roles. In 2005 he joined First Technology Safety Systems (now Humanetics Innovative Solutions), the world leading crash test dummy manufacturer, as the company’s Technical Director in the USA. He was responsible for all engineering activities, including design and validation of crash test dummies, dummy sensors and computer models.
Since 2007 Michiel is acting Secretary General of the European New Car Assessment Program Euro NCAP in Brussels, Belgium. This small but highly influential organisation has been at the forefront of ensuring that automobile manufacturers selling into the European market compete with each other on safety. Under his leadership, Euro NCAP has continued to drive innovation in vehicle safety in a number of ways. He has initiated the organisations’ strategic planning process and developed an effective working relationship with the automotive industry.
In 2009, he oversaw the implementation of the overall rating scheme, which encouraged vehicle manufacturers to focus on pedestrian safety long before the legislation required it. Finally, he has been leading the way in developing novel ways for assessing active safety and encouraging the inclusion of crash avoidance measures as standard in recent vehicle models.
Since 2014, Michiel is an active member of the IRCOBI Council and he has been a panellist of the annual UK WhatCar? Safety and European CLEPA Innovation Awards.
