1. The safety body
Introduction
safety body called the GOA safety body, means to reduce when the occupant of the car crash casualties in the design focuses on strengthening the body part of the passenger compartment, weakening automotive head and tail. When a vehicle collision, the head or tail is crushed and deformed while absorbing collision energy, while the cabin is not deformed so as to ensure occupant safety.
concept
GOA is the acronym for the world’s top level of safety design (global Outstanding Assessment) of. It is Toyota’s design patents. Located in the front and rear of the car crumple body, not only to deal with the impact the accident, but also to strengthen all-round cockpit protection, ease the secondary impact, in favor of the driver escaped or rescued. Only meet this standard body can be called GOA body.
concept development GOA body is: taking into account ldquo; reduce the impact of the occupant received rdquo; and ldquo; protection of cockpit space rdquo; two opposing ldquo; exclusion rdquo; goal. Looks like the so-called ldquo; exclusion rdquo; because, if only the car body has been very strong, although you can protect the cabin space, but can not reduce the impact of the occupant suffered; and if so that the body easily deformed, although you can reduce occupant suffered impact, but in the case of the fierce collision, it is difficult to protect the cabin space. In this case, it developed the Toyota GOA body, the starting point is to achieve ldquo; reduce the impact of the occupant suffered rdquo; and ldquo; protection of cockpit space rdquo; the coexistence of both.
Adaptability collision
the GOA introduced the concept of adaptive collision, thereby constantly improving and evolution. Adaptability refers to the so-called collision: When a collision occurs between vehicles of different weights of large and small cars, SUV and other vehicle and height, can protect the passive safety of one’s own vehicle and opponent vehicle at the same time.
Other advantages of the
In addition, when the butt also has the GOA case of an accident, some mechanism may also be designed to reduce body the degree of injury of pedestrians. For example, in order to reduce head injuries to pedestrians, the glass cover and the windshield wiper motor, are buffered around easily broken or deformed configuration; and in order to reduce damage to the pedestrian’s leg during a collision, the bumper be employed the same buffer structure.
