Impact Energy Absorbtion by Active Braking

Abstract

Due to urbanization and the significantly increasing number of vehicles, urban roads are becoming more congested day by day, with the result that the rear-end collision has become the third most common type of collision. By developing and integrating active and passive safety systems, car manufacturers are working to prevent accidents and reduce the consequences of an accident. The present study examines a braking procedure and its applicability based on the integration of a passive and active safety system and provides development guidelines for the reduction of personal injuries and property damage in the event of a rear-end accident.
