Safety plays a vital role in vehicle design and construction. To keep the risk of vehicle accident as low as possible vehicles are designed with technical feasible system and components. Also the vehicles are designed in such a way that the driver of the vehicle feels the optimum comfort which enables him to enhance the performance capabilities.
Active safety is further subdivided as follows:
1.Driving Safety : For safe and easy drivability the vehicles are designed in such a way that the Brakes, wheel control, Tyres, suspension and steering matched to each other as much as possible so that the vehicle can be easy to drive with safe even in poor road conditions. In order to achieve the high level of Active safety in modern commercial vehicles the systems like ABS, ASR, Electronic Brake system (EBS) in conjunction with Electronic Stability Programme ESP are incorporated in the vehicle design.
2.Fitness Related Safety: The Cabin occupants including the driver are exposed to various physical loads like Vibrations, noises, and other climatic influences. The lower these physical loads more comfort situations for the driver which enhances his performance capabilities.
3.Perception related Safety: This involves detection of all events and signals around the vehicles by means of :
a)Adequate lighting equipments.
b)Acoustic warning equipments and
c)Views through rear and side view mirrors.
b)Acoustic warning equipments and
c)Views through rear and side view mirrors.
In order achieve perception related safety, the modern commercial vehicles are equipped with Sensor detection units. These sensor detection units are correspondingly designed electronic systems evaluates the sensor signals and feeds the information to the driver so as to improve the traffic perceptions. Also the following systems enhances the perception related safety.
1. Lane Guard System (LGS): Which detects the course of Traffic lanes.
