Active And Passive Safety Travel With You On The Road

The automotive industry has had more than 100 years to think about safety on the road

. Ever since Karl Benz introduced was was to be known as the first modern automobile in 1885, the history of safety has also been the history of innovation.

Nowadays the words active safety and passive safety are widely used paid to describe what kind of measure can be taken to increase the safety of the passengers on the road.

The term active safety refers to safety systems that help avoid accidents, such as good steering and brakes. In this context, passive safety refers to features that help reduce the effects of an accident, such as seat belts, airbags and strong body structures.

But theres more to active safety than this. The pair of words are increasingly being used to describe systems that use an understanding of the state of the vehicle to both avoid and minimize the effects of a crash. These include braking systems, like brake assist, traction control systems and electronic stability control systems, that interpret signals from various sensors to help the driver control the vehicle. Additionally, forward-looking, sensor-based systems such as Advanced Driver Assistance Systems including adaptive cruise control and collision warning systems are also considered as active safety systems under this definition. So the main this is that these systems are designed to prevent an accident from taking place.

Passive safety features on the other hand are features built into the structure of a vehicle to protect the occupants in the event of a crash. Examples of passive safety features are laminated windshields that do not shatter when they break. Tempered glass breaks into granules without sharp edges when they break. Another example would be crumple zones, which are metal panels in the body of a car that are designed to fold and absorb the energy of an impact.

Nokian Tyres promotes safety on the roads in many different ways. One of the most visible ways is the Hakkapeliitta Test Drivers campaign in Nordic countries. The test drivers will report on their real life experiences using their own blog on the Hakkapedia website and the traffic map at least once a week for everyons benefit.
