System pedestrian protection vehicle frontal plane
ES201401050
The system consists of an element of material capable of absorbing energy that is positioned, in time to avoid direct impact, between the pedestrian and the rigid elements of the front of the vehicle (such as windshields, pillars...). In a situation of possible collision, a collision detection system (a team of sensors, both active and passive, is responsible for detecting the pedestrian and evaluating whether there is a risk of impact. In the event that there is a risk of collision, the system The collision detection system will send an activation signal (electrical or otherwise) that will initiate the release of the security system.
The system makes it possible to maintain the safety of pedestrians against being run over, at the same time as it allows for shorter vehicles by not having to reserve space in the front part for the energy absorption and pedestrian protection systems that are needed with the current systems. El sistema permite mantener la seguridad de los peatones frente a atropello, al mismo tiempo que permite disponer de vehículos más cortos al no tener que reservar un espacio en la parte frontal para los sistemas de absorción de energía y protección de peatones que se necesita con los sistemas actuales.
