Multi-collision airbags are a new innovation that provides better passenger protection. Recently, Hyundai has announced the development of the world's first-of-its-kind technology and is expected to be launched on a commercial scale in the future.
This technology improves the performance of airbags in traffic accidents with multiple collisions, in which the vehicle collides more than once with vehicles, vehicles or other objects such as trees, electricity poles or other vehicles, which occurs in three out of every 10 traffic accidents, according to data The National Highway Traffic Safety Authority of the United States,
The current airbag systems do not provide protection against multiple collisions during an accident, when the impact of the first crash is not enough to open the cushions. However, the multi-collision airbag system allows air bags to be opened effectively following a subsequent collision, By calibrating the positions of both the vehicle and passengers.
The new Hyundai technology senses the passenger's position in the cabin after the first collision. The current safety technology may be impaired. Airbags are unable to protect passengers when their position changes due to collision,
New airbag systems are designed to open cushions faster when primary safety systems are unable to function effectively, raising safety when drivers and passengers are at greater risk.
The airbag system is enabled to respond quickly during the next collision by conducting a new collision intensity measurement required to open the cushions, thus improving passenger safety levels during multiple collisions.
According to statistical figures from the National Vehicle Traffic Safety Bureau of the US Department of Transportation's National Highway Traffic Safety Authority, 30 percent of the 56,000 road accidents between 2000 and 2012 in the northern states state involved multiple collisions.
The most common form of traffic accidents was the collision of 30.8% of the vehicle, followed by the sudden stop at the highway toll gates by 13.5% and the collision in the middle of the highway by 8%, followed by the side impact With trees and electric poles by 4%.
Hyundai Motor has analyzed multiple collision scenarios in multi-party ways to improve the performance and accuracy of airbags in cars during the multiple collision God forbid. The Hyundai Motor Group is set to adapt the new system to Hyundai cars in the future.
