SAFETY FACTOR IN VEHICLE DESIGN

Abstract

One of the primary conciderations in vehicle design is safety. Safety criteria in the broadest sense have been with the car from its inception. Once you are moving at more than ten kilometers per hour, the problems of turning and stopping become immediately apparent. Designing for accident avoidance, therefore, is in one sense merely an extension of designing for normal function, and improvements have been introduced in an ad hoc manner over many years in this area. This paper traces very briefly the evolution of some safety aspects of vehicle design. Some studies and safety parameters are introduced too.
