Crash tests with small electric car. Active safety systems increases safety.
With advanced technology, even small and light electric vehicles withstand collisions with heavier vehicles, the project Visio.M, where Autoliv participate.

Small and light electric vehicles have difficulty coping with crash tests made under the Euro NCAP. The occupants at risk of severe damage if they survive at all.
But with strong materials and active safety, security can be increased significantly. It shows Visio.M research, led by the Technical University of Munich and with the participation of companies like BMW, Daimler, Autoliv, Continental, Siemens and many more.
Only by reinforcing the cockpit with a frame made of carbon fiber reinforced plastic, and building deformation of aluminum, is a small electric vehicle with a maximum weight of 400 kg significantly safer for the occupants.
Till this added active safety with the help of radar and camera sensors. The system constantly keeps an eye on the traffic dangerous situations that may occur around the car. The information may be given to the driver in the cautionary purpose so that it can avoid the situation.
But the situation becomes critical for the system switches to actively take several measures to mitigate the effects of a collision.
Examples of these are a type of airbags in the bumper and the inside of the body panels. Fraction before a crash, regardless of direction, the airbags inflate and push out the body so that it has greater energy-absorbing ability.
The occupants will pulled harder on to their chairs. In the event of a side impact, the seat which is most exposed to be pushed towards the center. To prevent collision with medpassageraren triggered an airbag between the cracks. The acceleration at the lateral displacement reduces the effect of the collision.
Research Vision.M runs for 2.5 years and has a budget of 10 EUR 8 million.
