Research of active safety systems for motor vehicles

Abstract

Problem. The causes of accidents can be different – they include a human factor and the state of the road, and meteorological conditions, it is necessary to anticipate the full range of potentially dangerous situations, in which, theoretically, can a car get. According to statistics, cars account for about 85% of all road accidents. That is why car makers, when designing a car, pay maximum attention to safety, as on the safety of an individual car the general safety for other traffic participants depends directly. Goal. The research on active road safety systems aiming at improving the safety of the driver, passengers and other road users. Methodology. Methods of analysis and simulation of complex electrical and information systems were used. Methods of using active and passive safety in road transport were also used. Results. In the passive safety system, various elements were considered to improve the safety of people in the car and other people, there are drawbacks of passive safety is the state of the car that has been driven a lot, as well as the condition of roads. Different bumps and bad roads affect the car body, with some time the condition of the body does not become as tough as it was from the beginning of its operation. Originality. The door opening system in the blind zone was investigated. The system keeps track of approaching cars. When the car is in place, the system activates automatically. The sensors lo-cated behind are activated and begin to probe the space behind the car. If the speed of a road user is detected, all car doors are locked automatically. Practical value. It allows you to get away from emergency situations, to protect the driver and pas-sengers and other participants in the road traffic. It also expand the capabilities of car security systems.
