One accident is a multiple collision

The ADAC-accident research has determined that every fourth accident comes at multiple collisions. The vehicle meets such as after a collision with another car or another on an obstacle. This increases the risk of injury by about five percent. Communicating safety systems and automatic emergency braking could reduce the severity of the accident in a multiple collision.

should devote more attention to this subject automaker calls the Automobile Association. In the ADAC crash tests showed that grazing can be collisions, in which the cars collide with less coverage, more dangerous than the direct collision between two cars, in which both use their respective vehicles crumple zone full.

For grazing collisions are not vehicles to a standstill, but scrape past one another. To avoid the danger that these cars take to other road users or solid barriers, automatic emergency brake should be activated when the airbag is triggered. This allows the car to come within a few meters after the first collision to a halt.

Is similarly precarious situation in rollover accidents. In 17 percent of the ADAC crash research the accidents occur to a vehicle rollover. Head injuries are common (62 percent). The fact that this issue would be underestimated by the manufacturers show, the fact that, unlike the U.S., Europe rarely sensors for the detection of a rollover are installed in the cars.

Also, according to ADAC-assessment, European head airbag system is not ideal for the accident with rollover. Often is a rollover requires a spin. The ESP, the skidding registered, it could if it were linked to the airbag system to report and bring the air bag in a kind of "pounce". In general, air bags and ESP, but independently functioning systems.

However, both exchanged information, could warn the ESP in Whiplash operations, the air bags of an impending collision. The air bag triggering the ESP could then give a command for automatic emergency braking. (Ampnet / jri)
