A key objective of all three approaches is to manage vehicles, the road infrastructure, speeds, road users and the interactions between these components, to ensure that in the event of crashes, crash energies will remain at levels that minimize the probability of death and serious injury.
In-built motion sensors are programmed to detect movements specific to crash scenarios, and in the event of a crash a gas inflator spirits the airbag over the wearer's head like a hood, in 0.1 seconds.
The increased popularity of powered two wheelers (PTWs) in Australia, combined with their vulnerability in the event of a crash, necessitates new strategies to prevent serious injury crashes.
Although older drivers pose less risk to other people outside of their vehicles than young drivers do; their risk of crash involvement increases somewhat beyond approximately age 70 75 years, and risk of injury or death in the event of a crash increases substantially beyond this age range (Tefft [2008]).
For example, there is an interesting law in the Netherlands, which makes car drivers financially responsible in the event of a crash with bikers.
There was no signal from the plane's emergency locator transmitter (ELT) designed to be automatically activated in the event of a crash, but it was of an older type notorious for failing to operate after a crash.
Crash bars: hoop-shaped bars that help keep the bike off the rider in the event of a crash.[7].
"Unlike a conventional car, which is designed to prevent its passengers and pedestrians in the event of a crash, the EN-V is more like an aircraft, in that it is designed to avoid crashing in the first place," explains Tom Brown from the research and development department at General Motors GMM).
The beacons are meant to help rescue workers locate aircraft in the event of a crash.
