OUR ‘AUTO SAFETY’ SERIES |
THIS MONTH: Until а short time ago, most of the progress made in auto safety was in front and rear accidents, even though 40% of all serious injuries from accidents are the result of side impacts, and 30% of аll accidents are side-impact collisions. Many car makers have reacted to these statistics and new standards of the NHTSA (National Highway Traffic Safety Administration) by making doors, door frames and floor and roof sections stronger. But cars that now offer side airbags represent a new type of occupant protection. Engineers say that designing effective side airbags is much more difficult than designing front airbags. This is because much of the energy from а front-impact collision is absorbed by the bumper, hood and engine, and it takes almost 30 to 40 milliseconds before the инрас1impact reaches the car’s occupant. In а side impact, only а relatively, thin door and а few inches separate the occupant from another vehicle. This means that door-mounted side airbags must begin deploying within 5 or 6 milli-seconds. It takes а collision of about 19 kph to trigger side air bags. The seat-belt airbag is intended to give back-seat passengers the same level of protection as front-seat occupants. The air-bag is incorporated in the rear-seat seat belt and inflates forward on impact. Airbags, though, do not always save lives; they sometimes kill people who are too small or are in the wrong position when the airbags deploy. To prevent this from happen-ing, car makers and suppliers are developing occupant-sensingsystems. The three leading technologies for smart airbags аrе weight- sensing in the seat, position sensing within the car, and camera monitoring. These detection systems саn automatically deactivate the airbags if the situation is dangerous. |
