ACTIVE SAFETY FEATURES IN A CAR<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\nActive safety systems, also known as primary safety features, have sensors to detect any object, obstacle, or lane to prevent any damage or accident. The car computers<\/a>, also known as Electronic Control Unit (ECU) connect all the active safety sensors to provide road grip, visibility, handling, ergonomics and comfort features. Some of the active safety features in car are as followed:<\/p>\n\n\n\nABS AND EBD<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n![\"active](\"https:\/\/d2hucwwplm5rxi.cloudfront.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/18072638\/Active-vs-passive-safety-systems-in-cars-G-18-03-1024x640.jpg\")
The ABS ensures that car wheels stop immediately<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\nThe anti-lock braking system<\/a> (ABS) is one of the active safety features in cars. The ECU sends signals to ABS whenever there is an obstacle or the car is losing grip on the road. The electronic brake distribution<\/a> (EBD) ensures the even braking power to the wheels to stop the vehicle from skidding.<\/p>\n\n\n\nESC OR DSC<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\nThe Electronic Stability Control<\/a> (ESC), also known as Dynamic Stability Control<\/a> (DSC) helps in handling and stability of the vehicle using the ABS and emergency brakes<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\nBLIND SPOT MONITORING<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n![\"blind](\"https:\/\/d2hucwwplm5rxi.cloudfront.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/18072934\/Active-vs-passive-safety-systems-in-cars-C-18-03-1024x640.jpg\")
This active safety system in car allows the driver to view objects and obstacles that are out of sight<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\nThis safety system utilises the sensors installed in the side mirrors or the rear bumper. The blind monitoring system<\/a> helps in parking and detecting obstacles on the rear side. Moreover, this active safety feature in cars alerts the driver via audio or video warning and helps in preventing accidents.<\/p>\n\n\n\nTRACTION CONTROL SYSTEM<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\nThe traction control system<\/a> (TCS) helps in maintaining the tyre grip on the road. It sends signals to the car computers which actuates the ESC and helps in gaining traction on the slippery roads.<\/p>\n\n\n\nLANE ASSIST CONTROL<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n![\"active](\"https:\/\/d2hucwwplm5rxi.cloudfront.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/18073457\/Active-vs-passive-safety-systems-in-cars-E-18-03-1024x640.jpg\")
The lane assist and lane departure control systems alert the drivers to keep the car within the lane<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\nThis active safety system alerts the drivers when the car is leaving a certain lane. Moreover, there is a system similar to the lane assist system, which is lane departure control performing a similar function. Both the safety features alert the driver and help in keeping the car in lane.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\nThe adaptive cruise control<\/a> automatically maintains a safe distance from the other car by adjusting the speed accordingly. Most of the latest vehicles are equipped with this active safety system.<\/p>\n\n\n\nTYRE PRESSURE MONITORING SYSTEM<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n![\"tyre](\"https:\/\/d2hucwwplm5rxi.cloudfront.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/18073626\/Active-vs-passive-safety-systems-in-cars-F-18-03-1024x640.jpg\")
This active safety system in cars measures the air pressure in tyres and helps in maintaining the safe tyre pressure<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\nThe tyre pressure monitoring system<\/a> (TPMS) is one of the active safety features that alerts the driver if the tyre pressure is on the lower side. It helps the driver to take measures to avoid any emergency situation.<\/p>\n\n\n\nThere are also many other active safety features in cars including driver drowsiness detection, active night vision, headlights system, pedestrian detection, hill descent control and hill start assist system<\/a>. These all safety features minimise the chances of accidents and increase road safety.<\/p>\n\n\n\nPASSIVE SAFETY SYSTEM IN CARS<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\nThere are multiple active and passive safety systems in cars to avoid accidents or if any emergency occurs, passengers are safe. The passive safety system in cars becomes active or comes into play when any accident occurs. Here are some of the passive safety features in cars which not only minimise the damage but also, protect the lives of passengers:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
AIRBAGS<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n![\"Airbags](\"https:\/\/d2hucwwplm5rxi.cloudfront.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/18073837\/Active-vs-passive-safety-systems-in-cars-B-18-03-1024x640.jpg\")
The airbags save the passengers in car from fatal injuries by blowing up airbags when the car crashes<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\nWhen a car crashes at a certain high speed, the airbags<\/a> blow up to protect the passengers in a car from fatal injuries. Moreover, the airbags only become functional when the car decelerates to zero from a certain speed.<\/p>\n\n\n\nSEATBELTS<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n![\"seatbelts:](\"https:\/\/d2hucwwplm5rxi.cloudfront.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/18074055\/Active-vs-passive-safety-systems-in-cars-D-18-03-1024x640.jpg\")
Airbags and seatbelts work simultaneously to protect passengers and driver from major injury <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\nIt is one of the most prominent passive safety features in a car. Without seatbelts, airbags won’t be functional in case of an accident. Moreover, seatbelt benefits<\/a> in keeping the body of driver and passengers in rest position and safe from striking their head to the steering wheel in a collision. There is a warning light on the car dashboard<\/a> which alerts the driver and passengers to wear seatbelt while driving.<\/p>\n\n\n\nHEAD RESTRAINT<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\nThe head restraint in cars prevents any neck injuries. It is quite effective when any car collides with yours from the rear end.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
SIDE BEAMS<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\nThe side beams protect the driver and passengers if another car crashes in yours from the side.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
AUTOMOTIVE GLASSES<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\nThere are different types of automotive glasses<\/a> that don’t break into sharp edges in accidents. These automotive glasses break into blunt edges and smaller pieces minimising the harm to the car passengers.<\/p>\n\n\n\nCRUMPLE ZONE<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n![\"Crumple](\"https:\/\/d2hucwwplm5rxi.cloudfront.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/18074605\/Active-vs-passive-safety-systems-in-cars-A-18-03-1024x640.jpg\")
When the car crashes from the front, the crumple zone which is the engine compartment absorbs the collision energy<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\nThe crumple zone controls the effect of any accident on passengers and drivers as it absorbs collision energy on the front. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
This was all about active and passive safety systems in a car. However, there are problems related to some of the sensors which function only at higher speeds. Furthermore, when you buy a used car in the UAE<\/a>, always check that the vehicle is equipped with all the active and passive safety features.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
