Even though a number of developed countries enjoy a high level of
vehicle safety, more than 1.2 million fatalities still occur each
year on roadways worldwide. There remains a need to continue
improving vehicle and road safety. New technologies in sensors and
electronic control units, and the growing knowledge of car-to-car
and car-to-infrastructure technologies have led to a fusion of the
previously separated areas of accident avoidance (popularly known
as active safety) and mitigation of injuries (popularly known as
passive safety) into the newer concept of integrated vehicle
safety. This new approach represents a further step toward lowering
accident rates. This book, written by two of the foremost
automotive engineering safety experts, takes a unique and
comprehensive approach to describing all areas of vehicle safety:
accident avoidance, pre-crash, mitigation of injuries, and
post-crash technologies, providing a solutions-based perspective of
integrated vehicle safety. Also covered are accident investigation
and worldwide legislation as they apply to integrated vehicle
safety. The man-machine interface, biomechanics and development and
simulation techniques are also key concepts that are thoroughly
described. Special attention is given to driver assistance systems
and to compatibility in car-to-car crashes and pedestrian
protection. Chapters cover: accident research, functions of
integrated safety, biomechanics and protection criteria, injury
mitigation, adaptive occupant protection, compatibility,
calculation and simulation, and the future. The book is useful for
those interested in any aspect of automotive safety. Engineers and
scientists from the automotive industry can learn new details as
well as the broad perspective of vehicle safety today. The book
also provides key information to traffic safety professionals, law
enforcement, insurance practitioners, and journalists. Those who
help shape traffic and vehicle legislation can gain a wider
understanding of the topic to help them craft better laws. The book
also serves as a valuable learning resource for academicians and
students.
