active safety and passive safety
Active safety and passive safety are two integral components of vehicle safety systems designed to protect occupants during accidents. Active safety refers to the systems that help prevent accidents by monitoring the vehicle's surroundings and taking corrective actions if necessary. Its main functions include stability control, traction control, anti-lock braking systems, and lane departure warnings. Technological features of active safety include radar, lidar, and camera-based systems that provide real-time data to the vehicle's computer. These systems are applied in various situations, such as maintaining vehicle stability on slippery roads or preventing collisions with obstacles. Passive safety, on the other hand, involves the protection of occupants during a crash. It includes features like airbags, seat belts, and crumple zones that absorb impact energy. Passive safety technology is designed to minimize injury during an accident, with applications ranging from frontal and side-impact crashes to rollovers.
