Ajoturvajärjestelmät

Ajoturvajärjestelmät are safety systems designed to protect vehicle occupants during a collision. These systems work together to minimize the forces experienced by the passengers and reduce the likelihood of injury. Key components include seatbelts, airbags, and pre-tensioners.

Seatbelts are the primary restraint system, preventing occupants from being thrown forward or sideways during an impact. Modern seatbelts often incorporate pre-tensioners, which rapidly tighten the belt at the moment of a collision to further secure the occupant.

Airbags deploy rapidly from various locations within the vehicle, such as the steering wheel, dashboard, and side pillars. They act as a cushion, absorbing impact energy and preventing direct contact with hard surfaces. Different types of airbags exist, including front, side, curtain, and knee airbags, each designed to protect specific areas of the body.

In addition to these core components, ajoturvajärjestelmät may also include crumple zones, which are designed to deform in a controlled manner during a crash, absorbing energy and reducing the forces transmitted to the passenger cabin. Electronic stability control (ESC) and anti-lock braking systems (ABS) also contribute to overall vehicle safety by helping drivers maintain control in difficult situations, thereby preventing accidents or reducing their severity. The effectiveness of these systems is continuously improved through research and development, with advanced sensors and algorithms constantly monitoring driving conditions and occupant status.
