CAR SAFETYActive and Passive: Car safety functions are grouped into two categories: Active and Passive. Active features are designed to reduce the risk of accidents. Things like tires, brakes, lights, and steering are active features. But the most important of them is the driver. Passive safety devices aim to reduce damage to car occupants in the event of an accident. These include things like seat belts, airbags and crumple zones. For all these features, any car can still crash, so this report aims to make you more aware of the safety aspects of modern cars and the role they play in driving. Active Safety FeaturesBrakes: Brakes play one of the most important roles in overall safety and therefore it is important that they are reliable and durable. A good braking system always stops the car in the minimum possible distance while remaining stable, has a consistent response that is consistent with brake pedal pressure. and allow you to easily control the car while braking. Disc and drum brakes are the two types used in cars. Drum brakes are very useful on your rear axle, but not as effective on the front, where better balance and heat dissipation are essential. Heat dissipation is the ability of the brakes to get rid of the immense amount of heat created by friction between the brakes. friction surfaces and pads. This is very important because it reduces the amount of friction that can be applied (brake fade) and can cause the brake fluid to boil, rendering the brakes completely useless. Disc brakes can dissipate heat much more efficiently and therefore perform much better when braking often or at high speeds. The best disc brakes are ventilated.ABS: ABS (Anti-lock Braking System) is a system that prevents the wheels from locking when skidding while braking on slippery surfaces. It works by using a computer that monitors wheel speed and drives pistons that alternately increase and decrease braking pressure several times per second on individual wheels when it detects that they are about to lock up. Preventing skidding while braking increases the driver's control over the car and significantly reduces the risk of an accident. Stability and handling: A car with good handling and stability is much safer to drive than a poorly designed car. In fact, it adheres better and is more responsive. Good stability and handling are achieved through a combination of suspension, steering, throttle, brakes and weight distribution..
