External Side Airbag - World’s First Pre-crash | TECH DEMONSTRATION

ZF Presents World’s First Pre-crash External Side Airbag System. ZF safety system is designed to expand the size of the lateral crumple zone fractions of a second before a collision occurs. Tech Features. Up to 40 percent reduction in occupant injury severity for side impact collisions

ZF’s pre-crash technologies, including those for safety systems such as seat belts, are becoming more important #AIRBAG #CRASH #CRASHTEST

Side impact collisions are among the most dangerous type of road traffic accidents, accounting for nearly 700 deaths per year and nearly a third of all occupant fatalities on German roads. A new pre-crash safety system prototype developed by ZF uses an external side airbag deployed milliseconds before a collision. It provides an additional lateral crumple zone, which can help save lives and reduce occupant injury severity by up to 40 percent. To make this possible, ZF has networked the airbags to the vehicle’s sensor systems and developed algorithms that are capable of determining if a crash is imminent and decide whether or not to deploy the airbag.
