Japanese researchers from Hiroshima University and Municipal Technical School are collaborating on an buoyant auto safety concept called 'iSAVE' inflated panels. The motivation for the project is to develop an integrated fail-proof protective device for vehicles that will do better than those that activate post-collision.
The prototype is currently being tested, but the 'iSAVE' inflated panels are already proving to cushion the impact of crashes. The vehicle is also equipped with internal airbags to cushion passengers, which are activated by the sensitive 'iSAVE' exterior mechanism.
Key Themes Behind This Trend
- External Airbags
- The development of external airbags can offer a new wave of safety solutions for vehicles in the future.
- Integrated Auto Safety
- The iSAVE concept can pave the way for developing integrated and fail-proof protective devices for vehicles.
- Pre-collision Mechanism
- The use of iSAVE inflated panels can prevent collisions or reduce the impact of crashes in vehicles through its external mechanism.
Where This Applies
- Automotive
- The development of iSAVE inflated panels can revolutionize the safety features of vehicles, making it a good opportunity for the automotive industry to integrate such innovations successfully.
- Manufacturing
- The manufacturing industry can potentially benefit by creating and producing the iSAVE concept and external airbags on a larger scale, which could increase its demand in the market.
- Safety and Security
- The iSAVE concept is an excellent opportunity for the safety and security industry to integrate safety solutions and innovate the existing technologies for vehicles.
