Abstract
One of the most important wishes of the car manufacturer is to ensure that the new developed cars correspond to the expectations of the increasing traffic safety. Reaching this wish such an active safety systems are necessary, which continuously appear in passenger cars for many years, on account of speedy developing electronics.
Nowadays, in modern vehicles the active safety systems act into the brake system, engine, power train and the suspension operation in case of emergency. This possibility will be extended with steering interaction in the close future as well. However, the active safety systems work separately, prohibiting the advantage of integrated systems. Finding out, which subsystems can work together in different driving conditions to avoid accident, a complete accident analysis has been achieved based on the Hungarian police, insurance companies and accident experts database as well. The analysis of the accident proves us to use and integrate active subsystems in several driving conditions.
This paper introduces the result of the accident analysis, the investigation of using active safety systems alone or integrated in different driving conditions to avoid accidents. The paper includes a proposal for several development of active vehicle systems.
