Bosch develops technology for safer vehicles
Buenos Aires .- Bosch, a leader in technology for the automotive industry continues to develop innovative technologies to improve the safety of people, sensors mounted on the side panels of the vehicles, which determine the strength and direction of impact more quickly.
He also developed smart sensors that provide information such as weight and position of the driver and passenger. Thus, if the occupants are not too heavy or are tilted forward, the airbag release mechanism or trigger is inhibited gradually to reduce the risk of injury. At the same time, you can install features to prevent pedestrian accidents, such as the automatic lifting of the bonnet in a crash.
On average, about 80% of new vehicles manufactured worldwide are equipped with an airbag at least. In South American countries are increasingly common. Such is its importance that in 2009, for example, the governments of Brazil and Argentina adopted a resolution ordering the year 2014 the installation of various safety features in vehicles that are marketed 0 km there: dual air bag cushioning impacts (Dual front airbags for driver and passenger) and anti-lock brakes (ABS).
Bosch has produced over 111 million units of control on three continents. Taking into account the specific needs of the vehicle market in China, India and Mercosur (dominated by low-cost vehicles), the company introduced a “light” version of the airbag control unit, which has a lower cost without compromising reliability and allows passive safety systems are available to all types of cars.
Since the start of mass production of airbags, 31 years ago, Bosch Group specialists working to improve. Thanks to the strong commitment and investment made by the company each year in research and development (more than 4000 million Euros in 2010), it was possible to reduce 70% the size and weight of the control units.
“It has been found in different countries that the introduction of airbags in vehicles able to reduce by half the number of deaths in traffic accidents,” said Fernando Diaz, Manager of Sales Division Robert Bosch Original Equipment Argentina.
When joining the airbag control unit with sensors and systems that provide driver support and communication to the vehicle, it may introduce more security features. An example is the Collision Mitigation Secondary, which connects the airbag system with electronic stability program ESP ®. If sensors detect a crash impact, the ESP ® brakes automatically to slow down the vehicle, reducing its kinetic energy and minimizing the force of a second collision.
