Passive Safety Devices For Motorcars .
Passive Safety Devices For Motorcars
simulator allows the study, the testing and the troubleshooting on the
devices which have been developed for the purpose of increasing the
safety of driver and passengers inside motorcars. The simulator
considers all those systems that allow to reduce the consequences of
accidents; in particular, the following devices are analyzed:
- Airâ€bag (driverâ€bag, passengerâ€bag,sideâ€bag, windowâ€bag)
- Safety belts tension relay
- Fuel shutâ€off inertial switch
- Multiâ€function valve in the fuel tank
The
different notâ€acting safety devices are reproduced on the panel through
a synoptic diagram that allows a complete analysis of the components
and, in case, of the relevant electrical/electronic control circuit. It
is possible to simulate the behaviour of components and circuits, on the
basis of operating conditions that students and teachers can control
directly on the panel or through the personal computer. The latter keeps
constantly under control the simulation, by visualizing its behaviour
by means of signals and analog and digital meters; in this way the
student, through suitable measurements and tests, can proceed to the
fault finding activity.
