Why, Volvo’s security, even Mercedes, BMW can’t do it?

Since the 1950s, Ensuring the “zero accident” has always been the top priority of Volvo, so pays attention to safety, not to pay attention to performance, is the impression of the outside world for Volvo, is also the same. And Volvo has put large amounts of funding in order to meet the safety of various conditions (such as speed, distance and collision angle).

When is the Walvo Motor start to strengthen the development of safety devices?

At the beginning of the birth of the car, it was a state of simple traffic step tools and did not consider safety. Therefore, the car at that time, there is no basic components such as rearview mirrors, seat belts and suspensions, and is not sensitive to traffic accidents. So, when will we start to develop rapidly? The answer can be found in the security concept of Volvo.

Adhering to the “security” brand concept, Volvo car began to develop the world’s first three-point seat belt in 1959, which is all of us. The most familiarity in Volvo security. So far, Volvo’s safety belt has a word of 1959.

Later, Volvo can’t make up in the security configuration. So far, including ▲ child safety cushion ▲ Side collision protection system (SIPS) ▲ Cervical protection system (WHIPS) ▲ City safety (City Safety), more than 20 new security technology, is the earliest use of Volvo brand, leading The development of automobile safety technology.

In 1964, Volvo Cars developed the world’s first child seat, which is inspired by NAS. Astronauts of the Bureau (NASA) sitting and fireThe opposite direction of the arrow direction. The purpose of this is to minimize the movement of the neck during a traffic accident, and has a protective device that protects the head.

Adhering to this principle, Volvo Motor Company has developed and sells the front seat cervical protection system for the first time in 1998 to ensure The safety of many drivers and passengers on the road.

Currently, Intelligent Security System “IntelliSafe” has been applied to all product lineups and is also the representative security function of Volvo. Volvo’s leading security technological decision factors “urban security” system have emergency braking function to prevent low speed collisions. This feature can be urgently braked by identifying a car, pedestrian and animal, pedestrians, and animals, no matter during day or night.

Avoiding vehicles and reducing collisions is also technologies that enhance Intellisafe perfectness. Volvo is the world’s first application “to reduce the braking function of vehicle collision” in vehicles. This feature is activated while driving on the road with obvious logo (60km / h-140km / h), which helps control and prevent the front vehicle from traveling to the driver.

Volvo car has three “anti-collision auxiliary functions”. The anti-collision assistance can help the driver reduce accidents, leaving the car and collision with other vehicles or obstacles. This function is made from the following three functions ▲ reduces road deviation function ▲ Near opposite lanes, vehicle anti-collision function ▲ with steering The blind spot information assisted system is combined.

In particular, the anti-collision function of the vehicle near the opposite lane is intended to help the driver that travels on the opposite lane, the vehicle detects the upcoming collision of the vehicle from the moving vehicle, will The steering assist function is activated to return the vehicle to the original lane.

Advanced driver auxiliary system “Pilot Assist II” is also a technique that combines Volvo pursues security and automatic driving concept. Driver auxiliary system is an existing adaptive cruise control system (ACCThe system is added to the direction control function, and can travel in a straight line without departing the lane, and can even turn on the highway, the system can be automatically automated at the lowest 15km / h, the highest driving of 200 km / h Acceleration and deceleration, thereby reducing the driver’s fatigue burden and enhances the safety of the vehicle.

Although all car manufacturers have recently adopted a strengthened driver auxiliary system, Volvo simplifies the operational process to minimize operation complexity. Because the complex operation will also increase the danger. In addition, the road deviation protection system is a system that prevents and alleviates the thoracic vertebrae and lumbar injury that may occur in the road, and is the function of minimizing damage by rapidly securing the driver quickly on the seat.

What is the leading position in Volvo car especially in automobile safety?

The answer is in the Volvo Auto Traffic Accident Research Association (TART) and the Security Center Collision Research Institute (VCSC).

The Volvo’s traffic accident investigation team has been developing a variety of security technologies by analyzing the accumulation data of 36,000 traffic accidents from approximately 50 years in Sweden. In 2019, Volvo shared proprietary technology, related information and knowledge through “Project E.V.A.”, which publicly made the accumulated data of traffic accident survey team investigations in the form of digital libraries, contributing to the development of automobile safety technology.

Walvo Automotive Safety Center Collision Laboratory is a method of reproducing numerous traffic conditions and accidents by average a collision test every day. It is to take into account the number of traffic accidents on the road, thus studying how to cause death or serious injury.

The collision laboratory has two test tracks, each or the size of 108m and 154m, respectively, and can be tilted from 0 to 90 degrees to support a variety of angles and speed collision tests. In particular, travel through two maximum speeds of 120 km / hThe collision simulation between vehicles has reproduced many accident scenarios, and related data is collected and studied.

In this way, the recent collision test in the US Expressway Safety Insurance Association (IIHS), 15 models of the Volvo family Get the rating of “Top Security (TSP +)”. This is since the safe launch (TSP +) rating since 2013, only the Volvo brand has achieved such a high recognition, which is not done by other car manufacturers.
