English translation:mechanical safety testing section/crash-testing section (for safety)
Explanation:
The Sougakukan Dictionary definition of 人工 = artificial, man-made, mechanical. Examples:
人工心臓=mechanical heart
人工頭脳=mechanical brain

It seems this is about automobile safety.
Automobile companies use man-made dummies (Crash dummy testing) or other types of mechanical testing to test out a variety of crash possibilities to improve the safety of their vehicles.
