Overhead Presentation. Integrated Safety is a key factor for new vehicle generations and means the combination of active and passive safety systems. Priorities for integrated safety are: to maintain safe speed and distance, stay in lane, collision avoidance, reduction of accident severity, improvement of occupant protection. Both active and passive safety systems haven proven their ability to significantly enhance safety either by avoiding accidents (e.g. ESP) or reducing injuries (adaptive airbags). Integrated safety systems have the potential to allow the use of new pre-crash triggered safety devices and thus reduce injuries even further. Improvement opportunities for passive safety using pre-crash sensing are outlined. Conventional occupant protection and pre-crash occupant protection are compared. A protection improvement approach with the following steps is introduced: 1. occupant protection opportunities; 2. manage crash severity,; 3. maximize occupant coupling; 4. define preparation times; 5. establish activation times; 6. dimension sensing system.
