    Vehicle'S Crash Protection and Energy Absorption: Group 9

    Uploaded by

    Lorenz Banada
    The document discusses vehicle crash protection and energy absorption. It explains that crash protection aims to avoid crashes through devices like daytime running lights or electronic stability control, and to protect occupants if a crash occurs through measures like seatbelts and airbags. It notes that crash protection priorities vary based on speed, focusing on minimizing repair costs under 15 km/h, protecting pedestrians from 15-40 km/h, and occupant protection over 40 km/h. The goal of crash protection is to keep occupants in the vehicle, prevent passenger compartment collapse, and control deceleration, reducing risks of ejection, reduced survival space, or contact with interior objects.

    Inroduction

    Crash protection and Crash avoidance

    Vehicle engineering improvements for safety have been achieved by modifying the vehicle to
    help the driver or rider avoid a crash and by modifying the vehicle to provide protection against
    injury in the event of a crash for those inside and outside the vehicle.

    1.Crash protection or secondary safety or passive safety

    Protection in the event of a crash e.g. seat belts, airbags, front and side impact protection

    2.Crash avoidance or primary safety

    Devices to avoid a crash e.g. daytime running lights, electronic stability control, intelligent
    speed adaptation, alcohol interlocks

    Crashworthiness
    First used in the aerospace industry in the early 1950’s, the term “crashworthiness”protect
    the occupants in survivable crashes

    provided a measure of the ability of a structure and any of its components to

    Crash protection priorities vary with car speed when crash occurs:
    at speeds up to 15 km/h, the main goal is to minimize repair costs;
    at speeds between 15 and 40 km/h, first aim is to protect pedestrians;
    at speed over 40 km/h, the most important concern is to guarantee occupant protection.

    How does crash protection work?


    Vehicle crash protection aims to keep the consequence of a crash to a minimum. For car
    occupants, this means:
    • Keeping the occupant in the vehicle during the crash
    • Ensuring that the passenger compartment does not collapse

    • Controlling the deceleration of the car

    So reducing the risk of:

    • An unrestrained occupant being ejected from a car so increasing the risk of fatal injury;
    • A poorly designed passenger compartment which reduces the occupant’s survival space;

    • Occupant contact with a poorly designed car interior or intruding object
