Rear inflatable seatbelts-Innovative and emerging technology by Chloe Gillespie Q1. Ford Motor Company (Ford)’s Rear Inflatable Seatbelts is ground breaking innovative technology which is a seatbelt in which inflate when the car senses a collision deploys in 40 milliseconds when a crash occurs, distributing the force across an area five times greater than a regular seatbelt protecting more of the passenger’s body. Multiple studies show this innovation evidently reduces the injuries to the head and neck when comparing the two seatbelts. The need: The need for the rear inflatable seatbelts is to provide comfortable seatbelts which further improve ordinary seatbelts by adding supplementary safety for the rear passengers which from research shown is typically young children and the elderly, whom are generally more vulnerable. Function: The function of these inflatable seatbelts is to add additional protection.
The manual Fiat can give anyone a hard time when you find too much traffic in their way home because they have to change shifts every two seconds. Also, the car can turn off by itself while anyone is changing shift. Another feature is that the manual Fiat is easy to maneuver in a dangerous situation. Being able to control the acceleration of the car, anyone can control the brake of the car with the shift stick. Usually, you’ll find yourself in the situation of making a quick stop, so the manual Fiat helps the driver to stop easily using the shift stick by reducing velocities.
Importance of Seatbelts Physics By: Osama Al Saket Grade: MYP 4 B (9B) Year: 2008-2009 Seat-belts in cars, they say that wearing seatbelts are important, and that they can save your life, but have you ever wondered how they can save your life? And how why does your body moves forward after stopping suddenly in the car? And why if the car decelerates uniformly your body doesn’t move as if it was at a sudden stop? A driver or passenger travelling in a car is moving at the same speed as the car is moving, if the car suddenly stops, the body of the passenger inside will keep moving forward at the same speed. This confirms inertia.
Why wear a seat belt when driving because, if worn properly, they prevent you from being thrown around or out of your car if you’re in a car crash. When you wear a seat belt it is more likely for somebody to live in a car crash then someone who doesn’t wear a seat in a car crash. Why avoid texting and driving at the same time? When you text and drive at the same time you’re more anxious to check your message then keep your eyes on the road. Also when you’re more likely to lose focus on what you should be doing like driving?
The first reason that seat belts should be mandatory is that seat belts reduce the risk of injuries to a vehicles occupants in the event of an accident. Seat belts restrain a vehicles occupants in the event of a crash limiting major and minor injuries, primarily to the head. Permanent injury is 50% more likely to occur in a vehicle accident when not wearing a seat belt (JMU, 2004, para.1). A study done lead by Rutledge (1993) on people involved in car accidents showed that 44.5% of people in a car accident not wearing a seat belt suffered head injuries. The study also showed that the average amount of days spent in a hospital after a car accident when the victim was wearing a seat belt was 10.5.
This is how people get thrown from cars through the wind shield, hit their heads on steering wheels, and maybe even get thrown out of their window. The seat belt is what can slow down or stop someone’s body at the same rate that the car slows down or stops. This might be painful and leave some bruises but it is much better than getting thrown from
Can smart cards predict crashes? In the near future can cars be death proof? What are crumple zones and how do they work? How does the occupant classification system work? What are the safety concerns about seat belts/ air bags/ brakes?
Cruise control is really useful when it comes to long drives on roads that are not that crowded, this way usually payoffs in a couple ways: to make it easier on you without having to hold the gas pedal on the whole trip and it will help you on your gas mileage, seeing that you won’t be accelerating at different levels. Some drivers use it to avoid unconsciously violating speed limits. A driver who otherwise tends to unconsciously increase speed over the course of a highway journey may avoid a speeding ticket. However, cruise control may go over its setting on a downhill which is steep enough to accelerate the engine. A remote keyless system is a system designed to remotely permit or deny access to your vehicle.
Electric cars are not new. They have been one of the early versions of cars and were in competition with the gas - guzzler type for use in all kinds of transport in early times. However, it lost the battle because of two factors; the invention of the electric starter by Cadillac and the start of mass production of cars by Ford. It was only recently that major car companies began developing models for the public. In spite of this development, the majority of electric cars that run on the highways are built at home using old cars and spare parts.
In order to drive safely, a person must be able to see, think and move well. If any of these abilities is limited, the driver is at risk of having an accident. Of the five senses, vision is the most important for safe driving at any age. Reading the gauges inside the car, spotting road signs and traffic lights, recognizing and responding to brake lights, and judging the speed and location of the vehicles around us are some examples of how we use our vision while driving. Poor eyesight is a common problem faced by older adults.
