ütközésbiztonság

ütközésbiztonság is a Hungarian term that translates to "collision safety" or "crashworthiness" in English. It refers to the design and engineering principles aimed at protecting occupants of a vehicle in the event of a collision. This encompasses a wide range of features and technologies incorporated into vehicles to minimize injuries and fatalities.

Key aspects of ütközésbiztonság include passive safety systems and active safety systems. Passive safety systems are designed to protect occupants once a crash has occurred. Examples include seatbelts, airbags, crumple zones (designed to absorb impact energy), and a strong passenger safety cell. These systems work together to distribute impact forces and reduce the severity of forces acting on the occupants.

Active safety systems, on the other hand, aim to prevent a crash from happening in the first place or to mitigate its severity. Technologies like anti-lock braking systems (ABS), electronic stability control (ESC), and advanced driver-assistance systems (ADAS) such as automatic emergency braking and lane keeping assist fall under this category. These systems use sensors and sophisticated software to detect potential hazards and intervene to avoid or lessen the impact of a collision.

Regulatory bodies worldwide establish safety standards and conduct crash tests to evaluate the ütközésbiztonság of vehicles. Organizations like Euro NCAP and the IIHS in the United States play a crucial role in assessing and rating vehicle safety, providing consumers with valuable information when making purchasing decisions. Continuous research and development in ütközésbiztonság are vital for improving road safety and reducing the human and economic costs associated with traffic accidents.
