    A Seminar On Automobile Safety

    Uploaded by

    Divyansh Chaturvedi
    This document discusses various automobile safety features including airbags, anti-lock braking systems, and electronic stability control. It describes how airbags work by inflating upon collision to protect passengers. Anti-lock braking systems use sensors and computers to prevent wheels from locking during braking, allowing for shorter stops and better steering control. Electronic stability control builds on ABS and uses additional sensors and individual brake application to help drivers maintain control of the vehicle during understeering or oversteering.

    A Seminar on

    AUTOMOBILE SAFETY
    INTRODUCTION
    Automobile Industry is undergoing a BIG
    TRANSFORMATION never seen before.

    Today CAR’s are not only used for personal


    Transport but they are ENCOMPASSED with
    Entertainment that vies with the fedility of your HOME
    THEATRE
    Seating arrangement more comfortable than your
    RECLINER
    SAFETY FEATURES making your car safer than a TANK
    •Globally car companies Spend
    nearly $36 billon annually for
    influencing new TECHNOLOGIES
    into their cars.

    •Some of the big advancement in


    Automotive Industry in last 10years
    have come in a area of SAFETY.
    In addition to Telematics based Services like
    • Digital Satellite Radio
    •In car E-mail

    •GPS systems

    Recent Advancement in Braking Technology have led to


    •Shorter stopping distance
    •Increased Control in PANIC situation
    •More control on CURVED turns
    Air Bags

    •What’s the main function of the System?


    •Material of Airbags?
    •History
    Actual Working

    •How does it INFLATES?


    Effectiveness
    This system has proven its effectiveness
    • In frontal crashes reduction in d rivers death reduced by nearly
    14%
    •Passenger side airbags reducing death by nearly 11%
    •NHTSA estimated reduction in risk by nearly 85% with the
    combination of seat belt and airbags compared than only seatbelt
    i.e60%
    Car Model Head Injury Risk
           Airbag          No Airbag  
    Holden Commodore 28 48
    Toyota Camry 20 44
    Mitsubishi Magna 6 27
    Ford Falcon 14 N. A.

    This are some crash results which give the effectiveness of the system

    Anti-lock Braking System

    • Introduction?
    •Advancement in the system?
    •Working?
    Advancement in the system?
    How Does the system Works?
    Working

    Conventional Braking
    Whole process is controlled by driver applied break
    paddle pressure;
    ABS Braking
    Electric Sensors monitor the wheel speed
    ABS microprocessor Compares the wheel speed
    Control valve is energized.
    Effectiveness

    ABS on a test track


    Advantages:
    Achives the Shortest Stopping distance
    Better chance on Steering around obstacle
    Reduced risk of skidding

    Disadvantages:
    Precautions should be taken while
    driving
    Proved less effective on gravel road or
    road compacted by snow
    Traction Control
    Next Generation ABS
    Uses ABS as a Building block.
    Can be is a combination of ABS & Engine
    control
    Mainly the system has to control some or all
    conditions
    Retard or Suppress the spark to one or more
    cylinders
    Retard fuel supply to one or main cylinder
    Break one or more wheel
    Close the throttle, if the vehicle is fitted by
    wire throttle
    Electronic Stability Control
    Main components of the system

    A) active wheel speed sensors;


    B) steering angle sensor;
    C) Yaw rate sensor
    D) attached electronic control unit (ECU)
    E) motor;
    F) pressure sensor,
    G) hydraulic unit.
    Steering Angle Sensor

    Understeering (“plowing out”) Oversteering (“spinning out”)


    Some important ECS definitions

    • ESC augments vehicle directional stability by


    applying and adjusting the vehicle brakes individually
    to induce correcting yaw torques to the vehicle.

    • ESC is a computer-controlled system, which uses a


    close-loop algorithm to limit under steer and over steer
    of the vehicle when appropriate
